Genesis Montessori Gifted Academy is student centered and data driven.  Research proves that lower student-teacher ratio is conducive to better learning, it increases engagement, benefits student achievement and reduces behavioral problems. In addition, learning activities are more tailored to individual students, and educators provide more feedback and focus on the strengths of each student.

GMGA is dedicated to revise class sizes to meet the following ratios by program:

Infants — 4:1 (four students to one educator)

Toddlers — 6:1 (six students to one educator)

Preschool and Kindergarten — 8:1 (eight students to one educator)

Elementary — 10:1 (ten students to one educator)

At GMGA, we aim to deliver the most optimal level in academic, social, and ethical standards, paired with a Montessori-infused curriculum with a scope and sequence that inspires an intrinsic love and appetite for higher-order learning.

Our faculty and staff are committed to implement and foster high academic fidelity to ensure each student receive an education within a school climate that promotes equity, diversity, inclusion, academic rigor and organization.
