Allison Greenspan Duckworth was born in Boca Raton, Florida. She grew up in an equestrian community known as Horse Shoe Acres, where she learned to ride horses and care for various farm animals. Because her sister was a professional horseback-riding instructor, Duckworth learned to ride horses at a very early age. She first started taking riding lessons at the age of four, and entered her first horseshow competition at the age of five.
Horse Shoe Acres is a premier equestrian community located centrally in Boca Raton, Florida. It is one of the few remaining horse-friendly neighborhoods in the region. It is a short, 30-minute drive from the town of Wellington, which is a national hub for world-class horseback riding instruction and competition. The neighborhood is set of 190 acres and features lakes, luxury homes and barns, riding trails, horse pastures and riding rings. Allison Greenspan Duckworth says the atmosphere of the neighborhood is sophisticated yet relaxed and the community has homes ranging in size and prices. Some homes are available for around $700,000 whereas other homes sell for over seven million dollars. The community is nestled between multiple country club neighborhoods and has convenient access to a multitude of fine dining, shopping, beaches, resorts and more.
Allison Greenspan Duckworth attended Claremont Montessori, a Montessori school located in Boca Raton. She attended this school from grade one until grade eight, and later went to one of the best public high schools in the area, Spanish River High School. At Claremont, Duckworth took classes ranging from basic general education to foreign language, culinary instruction and gardening and more. Claremont Montessori has a reputation as one of Boca Raton’s most respected Montessori schools.

Harvey and Nancy Hallenberg established the school in 1992. Allison Greenspan Duckworth greatly enjoyed her experience as a student at Claremont Montessori.
Duckworth describes the Montessori philosophy as an alternative form of education. The Montessori system places emphasis on student independence and freedom and does not rely on statewide testing present in many public and private schools across the nation. An Italian physician and educator, Maria Montessori, founded the approach after spending much of her time and energy studying special education. Aside from conventional education, the Montessori approach provides students with various means of real-world instruction ranging from foreign language to culinary instruction.
