faculty & staff

The Cobb School is more than a school; it is a close-knit and dynamic community of like-minded faculty and staff who seek to provide the best education for all of its students, fifteen months through 12 years of age.

All Head teachers have been fully trained and have received diplomas at an accredited AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) teacher training institute.  At the toddler level (YCC), the Head teacher has two assistants.  There is one teacher and one assistant in all other classes, Primary, Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary.
 
Our Elementary curriculum is enriched by specials, including Art, Music, Gym, Spanish, Latin and Library skills.  The faculty members who teach these subjects are skilled, experienced and dedicated experts. Our after school program, The Nest, is run by a trained Montessori teacher and two assistants.

In addition, The Cobb School employs an Assistant to the Head of School, Director of Admissions, Program Coordinator, Business Manager, Director of Development, Learning Specialist, Primary support teacher, receptionist, custodian and maintenance support staff. All Cobb School employees are dedicated to meeting the needs of the children and families in our community.
