Maia Cortes
Primary Teacher

Maia holds a B.A. in Sociology from University of New Orleans, with an interest in social psychology and gender studies. She enjoyed her first year of teaching at Crescent City Montessori during the 2019-2020 academic year, and also loved working at their summer camp in 2019. During her time at CCM, she gained invaluable experience and appreciation for Montessori methodology.

Maia was born and raised in New Orleans, and has a great love for the city. She is passionate about teaching children to become lifelong learners! She’s inspired by the absolute wonder that surrounds each child, and is excited to join the Cathedral family. When she’s not teaching or studying, she spends her time crafting, roller skating, and spending time with her whopping four cats.

Having completed the physical, in-class training at Oaks Montessori in Hammond, Louisiana, Maia is currently studying Montessori philosophy to complete her training. She is excited to receive her certificate in from Montessori World Educational Institute in 2021. Maia is full of enthusiasm and is brimming with new ideas for the classroom.
