Springmont is a private Montessori school located in Sandy Springs, Georgia, United States, in Metro Atlanta,[1][2] at 5750 Long Island Drive.
The parents banded together to send a teacher to Italy for training in Montessori methods, and the school opened in a spare classroom at Pace Academy.
[4] In 1971, the school bought acreage on Long Island Drive and contracted with the noted Atlanta architecture firm[5] Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild, and Pascal (perhaps best known for building Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium).
The landschool is used as an outdoor classroom and nature lab for Springmont students, who begin visiting it on overnight trips during elementary.
On overnight adventures, students participate in team-building and group development activities, while also learning about the natural history of plant and animal life in the region.
These outings also offer time for critical analysis, decision making and opportunities for intellectual, creative, social and physical engagement beyond the classroom.
