Mt Laurel Private Schools:
The following private schools are located in Birmingham within a short drive of Mt Laurel:
Located within the Town of Mt Laurel, Hilltop Montessori School covers toddlers through eighth grade. The mission of the school is to provide quality Montessori education in an environment which fosters a child's love of learning and respect for self, others and community. At all levels of education, core curriculum instruction is offered in practical life, reading, writing, language, mathematics, the sciences, geography, social studies, and history.
In Hilltop's commitment to be environmental stewards, we have built Alabama's first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified "green" school. The air in the classrooms is pristine, leading to fewer illnesses and allergies. The daylight flowing in through carefully placed windows floods the classrooms, making little additional lighting necessary. Students' academic performances rise as a result. The materials used for flooring, walls, and furniture are not only beautiful but healthful. Outside, native trees, undisturbed during the construction process, provide shade in warm months. And students enjoy gardens that are irrigated with rainwater collected in cisterns.
A private school with day and boarding enrollment options, Indian Springs School offers grades 8-12. Traditionally, even day students will choose to live in on-campus dorms for their senior year. Indian Springs has a strong academic focus and a rich tradition of music, student government, sports and other extra-curricular activities.
