Mission Montessori operates as a 501(c)(3) in association with ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). We operate as a Category IV Non-public school regulated by the Hamilton County Department of Education.
Mission Montessori School (formerly East Lake Montessori) is a non-profit, part-time to full-time preschool in Chattanooga’s Brainerd area.
Mission Montessori School strives to educate the children of our community to love learning, love work, and love one another. As we recognize the image of God in each child and adult, we strive to be a racially and economically diverse community fostering integrity, creativity, independence, and grace-filled interactions.

Mission Montessori School (MMS) believes that every child deserves a strong foundational education that ignites creativity and a lifelong love of learning. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, ability, religion, or sex. We believe that God has created everyone in His unique image, and as such deserves compassion, dignity, and a sense of place and purpose. MMS is designed to communicate these things to every child that walks through our doors.
