Battle Creek Montessori Academy

Battle Creek Montessori Academy is an active, independent public charter district situated at 399 20th Street North in Springfield, Michigan, within the small suburban setting of the greater Battle Creek area. Operating as a single-school district, the academy serves students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, providing a continuous educational pathway tailored to early childhood and middle-grade development. During the 2024–2025 school year, the district enrolled 141 students, offering a close-knit school environment where young learners can build strong foundational academic and social skills.

To deliver its specialized instructional framework, the district maintains a robust operational and teaching workforce relative to its student population. The school is supported by approximately 18 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, 4.5 FTE instructional aides, and 15 FTE support staff members, bringing the total district staffing to nearly 38 full-time equivalent positions. This dedicated staffing model allows for low student-to-educator ratios, ensuring individualized attention, strong classroom support, and a collaborative environment for families, students, and educational researchers studying charter school dynamics.
