The school received its official certificate this fall, marking a significant milestone in SMA\u2019s continued commitment to delivering exceptional Montessori education.<\/p>\n<p>AMS accreditation is a rigorous, multi-year process focused on reflection, growth, and continuous improvement. SMA completed a comprehensive self-study and hosted an AMS Verification Team this past spring. After observing classrooms and evaluating school practices, the team confirmed that SMA meets every AMS standard. The AMS Board of Directors then granted full accreditation.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Seyller, Chair of the AMS Onsite Accreditation Team, praised SMA\u2019s commitment to excellence: \u201cIt was clear that every member of the SMA staff invested a great deal of care, time, and energy in the self-study process. The depth of reflection and commitment to continuous growth speaks volumes about the culture of professionalism and passion within SMA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are incredibly grateful for our dedicated staff, board members, families, and supporters,\u201d said SMA Head of School, Karrin Marquell. \u201cThis achievement belongs to all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The accreditation also carries special significance for SMA\u2019s founder, Vyju Kadambi: \u201cIt was always a vision of mine to see SMA be accredited by the American Montessori Society. With that vision in mind, many decisions along the way helped us move toward this moment. I feel overcome with joy that the values established in the beginning have endured and continue to be lived out by Karrin and the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As SMA looks ahead to welcoming more students and expanding its impact, this accreditation strengthens its foundation. It reinforces the school\u2019s mission, deepens accountability, and reflects the strength and commitment of the entire SMA community.<\/p>\n<p>Southwest Montessori Academy celebrates this moment as both a culmination of years of hard work and a and a foundation for future growth as the school expands and increases access to this vital educational option. SMA is proud to be the first nonpublic Montessori school in Fort Wayne to earn AMS accreditation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/isp\/t20251111-ISP.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"From left to right: Troopers Chase Pfefferkorn, Eric Mitchel, Bryce Kukelhan, and Caleb Wooldridge.
