With over 100 years of success based on a prepared learning environment that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive. The Montessori Method consists of multi-age groupings that foster peer learning, uninterrupted blocks of work time, and guided choice of work activity.
The designed learning environment of the Montessori classroom allows the child to make guided choices in their development, while the multi-age classrooms allow for younger children to learn from older students. Through an interdisciplinary curriculum children are able to continue to grow from the time they enter the school until they graduate.
Hands on learning : The Montessori Method employs specially designed hands on learning activities for all ages. Our learning activities are designed to each teach a single skill at a time, with activities building on each other. Moving from concrete to abstract ideas, children are allowed to grow as an individual based on their unique needs.
In the Montessori system children take ownership of their education, making directed choices regarding their daily work schedule and checking and correcting their own work. This level of responsibility helps foster the creation of an independent, self- regulated child.
Classroom is a community:. Our diverse classroom is more than a school, It’s a community where the children take an active roll in the maintenance of the classroom. From guiding their own learning, to passing on knowledge to younger children, to making sure that the activities in the classroom are properly put away and cared for, the Montessori classroom plays an integral part in the development of independent, creative children.
A Learning Triangle: The classroom is prepared by the teacher to encourage independence, freedom within limits, and a sense of order. The child, through individual choice, makes use of what the environment offers to develop acording to their own needs and intersts, interacting with the teacher when support and/or guidance is needed.
