Lifespan is operated by Athens Montessori School (AMS), which was founded in 1978 by Director Warren P. McPherson. AMS strives to impart a lifelong love of learning to its students, while teaching skills essential to continued refinement of the learning process.


By offering a Montessori program at the Lifespan Center, AMS is committed to working with the whole child as well as providing high quality social support services for local families. In a carefully prepared environment, Lifespan students are exposed to specifically designed materials and experiences which develop physical and social abilities, as well as intelligence.
