Our Journey Through Time

From humble beginnings to becoming a premier Montessori institution

2004

The Foundation

Southeastern Montessori Academy was founded on 4th may 2004 at Ashaley Botwe to provide quality preschool and kindergarten education to children in the neighborhood. The Montessori method of teaching was employed to enable pupils to read by age five. This was archived by the second year of operation. There was a need to extend the provision of quality education. Hence our Mensah Bar campus was opened in September 2010
