Pinnacle Montessori Of Georgetown

Our mission is guided by three core values: 1. providing a high-quality Montessori education, 2. maintaining a safe and joyful environment, and 3. ensuring a seamless experience for our families.

Our DIRECTOR​

Mara Benavides

End-to-end responsibility lies with Mara. A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Communication Science, Mara specialized in the study of child language acquisition. Her professional journey includes teaching roles in Florida and at an immersion school in Austin, followed by the successful establishment and management of her own language school. Through these experiences, she has developed significant expertise in both curriculum development and organizational leadership.

Now as Director, Mara leverages her educational background to foster a safe, joyful learning environment. A parent herself, she is deeply committed to the well-being and growth of every student.

In her free time, she explores Texas with her family and enjoys life with their three dogs.

If you are a parent of an existing student, please get to know the dream team. If you are looking for a Montessori with purpose, stop by our school. Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!
