What is Montessori ?

In a Montessori school, a highly structured learning environment is planned carefully with designated areas for reading, math, computers, etc.  In order for education to be effective, we make sure that the child’s physical, emotional, and social needs are met.

The child is able to freely move about the classroom to select the work that interests him/her, which is then presented by the teacher as a lesson.  An open classroom and age group span enables each child to be grouped by interest and ability, which builds their self-esteem while proceeding at their own rate.

The child is in direct contact with unlimited educational material designed to lead to early reading, writing, and basic math skills, without getting bored.

The promise of a Montessori school is self-confidence, self-mastery, self-discipline, independence, care for the environment, liberty within limits, and respect for others and their own work.
