Srim Academy: a Montessori School
"Establishing lasting peace is the work of education" - Dr. Maria Montessori
...as featured on the front page of the
Gwinnett Daily Post!
"A Gwinnett County resident for some three decades, Ramachandran decided he needed to give back to his community by offering an alternative to traditional education templates. He has gathered like-minded educators to establish a preschool — Srim Academy in Norcross — with the goal of melding teaching models to train both the left and right side of a student’s brain."
Education for Life
At Srim Academy, our values-based preschool is grounded in the principles of Montessori education, where each child is viewed as a unique individual with innate potential. We foster independence, curiosity, and a love of learning by offering a carefully prepared environment that encourages exploration through hands-on materials and purposeful activities. Our days begin with grounding practices like yoga and meditation, supporting the development of focus and inner calm. Integrated with academics, gardening, and real-life experiences, our approach cultivates empathy, responsibility, and a deep respect for all living beings. Drawing inspiration from Montessori and complemented by elements of Waldorf philosophy, Srim Academy is committed to nurturing the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.
