Isthmus Montessori Academy

Isthmus Montessori Academy (IMA) opened in 2012 with the belief that Montessori education should be available and accessible to all children and families. The school opened with just two classrooms, has since expanded to include infant, toddler, preschool, elementary, junior high, and high school programming.

Isthmus Montessori Academy Public (IMAP) was established in 2018, and continues to serve as Madison’s first and only public Montessori school. In 2018, students in grades 4K-9th grade were welcomed, and our school nearly tripled in size. In 2021, IMAP was granted International Baccalaureate World School status for the Diploma Programme, also making us Madison’s first and only public International Baccalaureate school.
