My name is Anita Hanks, and I have had the privilege of serving as Head of School for over two decades. My Montessori journey began with my mother, a Montessori teacher and Head of School. As a multi-generational Montessorian, my passion for Montessori has expanded into the global Montessori community, where I currently serve as the President of the American Montessori Society (AMS) Board of Directors. 

I want to be the first to welcome you to Starwood Academy of Frisco! We are delighted you are considering our school for your child's education and invite you to learn more about the Starwood difference.

At Starwood, we cultivate an environment where learning sparks curiosity, inspires big questions, and fosters meaningful connections. Our authentic Montessori approach, combined with a distinctive academic challenge, empowers children to explore the universe and understand their place within it. 

I am honored to lead a team of dedicated educators committed to lifelong learning and respectful relationships. Starwood is a diverse, welcoming community where every child is valued, and our core values remain as relevant today as ever.

I invite you to explore our website, follow us on social media, and visit our campus to experience the Starwood difference firsthand. We look forward to welcoming your family!
