- We work through collaboration.
- We treat each other respectfully.
- We each take responsibility for excellence.
Our Programs
In our classes, each lesson is presented to the child using all three modes of learning: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. This multi-sensory approach addresses the fact that every child has an educational approach in which he learns best.
Transition
Students in Transition Class spend time in practical life, working on sensorimotor and language skills, pre-math, science, and arts areas of the Montessori curriculum.
Primary
The entire early childhood program focuses on guiding the child to develop a sense of order, increasing concentration, improving coordination, and gaining independence.
Elementary
Our curriculum minimizes tedious, rote learning, and maximizes hands-on, interactive learning, which research shows to be more effective.
About Montessori
Montessori schools follow the science based education method developed by Maria Montessori, an Italian physician. She studied child development, observed children, and designed an environment in which children learn and grow in self-esteem.
“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.”
