Fall 2027 · Nashua, New Hampshire · Proposed tuition-free public charter school
OUR MISSION
To empower students to become ethical leaders, independent thinkers, and resilient problem-solvers in the world they will inherit.
Grades 1–3
Foundational Literacy
We cultivate foundational literacy and numeracy through hands-on materials, sustained work cycles, and individualized guidance in a Montessori-prepared environment. Beyond third grade literacy and numeracy skills, our curriculum is entirely based on the Montessori principles of following the child.
In the first Montessori cycle (ages 6-9), MAE focuses on intellectual curiosity and the development of socialization and cooperative work within a multi-age classroom.
Grades 4–6
Academic Independence
Our Grade 4 cohort will be the foundation for the the second Montessori cycle. Here we will focus on academic independence, collaboration, and applied problem-solving for the modern world.
Ages 9 to 12 are typically characterized by "big ideas" and deep critical thinking. Children develop a keen sense of morality, justice, and a desire to research and explore concepts beyond the immediate classroom.
Learning Philosophy
Uninterrupted Work Cycles
Hands-On Understanding
We provide the deep focus necessary for mastery through sustained work periods, allowing students to explore their interests with profound concentration.
Learning is rooted in the physical world. We use tangible materials to build cognitive frameworks, ensuring every concept is felt and internalized through touch.
Mixed-Age Community
Prepared Environment
We foster a collaborative environment where students of all ages learn from one another, promoting empathy, leadership, and a shared sense of purpose.
Our primary program at MAE understands the analog environment as an essential tool for human growth. Our Montessori cycles are essentially screen-free for all students, ensuring that their future technology literacy will serve their individual needs and ethical development.

Family Interest Inquiry
Common Questions
What is the tuition?
Zero. As a New Hampshire chartered public school, Montessori Academy for Entrepreneurs is tuition-free for all families in the state.
What grades are currently in the interest list?
Our founding-year campaign is focused on children entering Grades 1 through 4 for the Fall 2027 cohort.
Does joining the interest list guarantee a seat?
Joining the list determines the order for follow-up inquiries. Formal admission will follow New Hampshire charter-school law and a public lottery process if seats exceed applications.
What does "Invenia Viam Tuam" mean?
Our Latin motto is a nod to an ancient saying: "Aut inveniam viam aut faciam," which means "I shall either find a way or make one." Our modern take is a unique translation of "Find your direction." Invenia is not a word in Classical Latin, and we intend it to carry both individual command and collective responsibility. Our translation is roughly: "(together, we) Find your way," which is a fuller embodiment of our English motto.
Where is the proposed school located?
The proposed location is 410 Amherst Street, Nashua, NH 03063.
