About Us

Seven Oaks Academy is a Montessori preschool in Lilburn, Georgia. Our mission is to plant seeds where a child can blossom, explore and more.

We celebrate each child's individuality and help them discover how they can best contribute to our world and culture. All children are naturally curious and love to learn; we support this innate drive by providing environments that meet children's developmental needs, by having a staff of loving and well-prepared adults, and by building a community of families that actively support our mission.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

Individualized learning

Lessons are designed and given to each child when they are most ready to learn.

Whole child education

Social, emotional, and physical development is emphasized along with academic skills.

Empowered by choice

Freedom to move and choose activities fosters independence and self-confidence.

Supported by research

Current neurology and human development research consistently backs Montessori.
