Welcome to the Academy of Thought and Industry (ATI), a modern Montessori-inspired Middle School located at 4550 Walney Rd, in Chantilly, Virginia! Serving grades 6, 7, and 8 in small, personalized classes, our curriculum uses the foundations of Montessori to deliver a rich academic experience. Our learning community is intentionally small, so that we are able to deeply know each student, help them thrive emotionally and socially, and support their individual path to excellence. We combine a rigorous, intellectually demanding liberal arts education with cultivation of student independence, agency and responsibility. Deep learning consists of both 'learning' and 'doing'--thought and industry. We help each student become a great thinker and a great doer in a way that follows their interests and passions. Each student is supported by their own coach, which ensures personalized fulfillment of their own short and long-term goals. Our community partnerships with local and international organizations to help expose students to potential interests that they may want to develop further.Whether you are a student, parent, or interested community member, we want to connect with you. We invite you to reach out and get involved in our revolutionary school. Contact admissions to learn more or to book a tour - we can't wait to meet you!
