What We Offer
Our students receive a well-rounded preparation
for life and school with a distinct emphasis on academic skills,
respect and care for oneself and others in a multi-aged class.
The children are encouraged to make independent choices with
their work and are used to handling a large variety of materials
and ideas. They learn to work solo, with a teacher as well
as in small and class-size groups. They learn to discuss problems
with the idea of solving them logically and with concern for
their classmates. Early on, older children are asked to help
and mentor their younger friends. Older children feel pride
in what they can offer young children and young children look
up to older children as heroes.
Montessori’s vision for education of the preschool aged
child has now existed for 100 years in every part of the world
in a large variety of settings and continues to grow and change.
The principles of the philosophy remain intact: Montessori
education is for ALL children. Montessori education is a method
for children to reach their own best individual potential
while understanding how it is to work and live in a school
peer group.
