Montessori School of Covington Capital Campaign

Creating the Cornerstone

Traditionally when a town was planned a civic building was the center of the neighborhood from which all activities radiated. Planners for the Clark’s Grove neighborhood envisioned a school for that civic building. After locating Montessori Children’s Cottage, a school with a reputable ten- year performance and similar vision, the dialogue began.

Approached at a time when the school was in the process of planning for future expansion and a permanent structure, and realizing the mutual benefits of locating the school in a New Urbanism development, the school agreed to move from Conyers to Covington to establish a permanent home.

The School moved to a temporary facility in the summer of 2001, reopening as The Montessori School of Covington, and launched Creating the Cornerstone, a $1 million capital campaign to construct a new home in Clark's Grove in Covington. With your support, we can expand the opportunity for this unique method of education and lifestyle to many more children and families East of Atlanta.

       The school relocated to the permanent Clark's Grove facility in August, 2005.
