Montessori methodology is rooted in the philosophies and legacy of Maria Montessori, a woman far ahead of her time in recognizing the value of independent exploration in learning. For students, learning how to learn is the true benefit of a Montessori education. For instructors, a thoughtful and empathetic approach to each student’s physical, emotional, and academic needs contributes to their overall happiness, well-being, and success.
Highly specialized materials support each lesson and are tailored to the stages of child development. Students learn at their own pace, guided and encouraged by their teachers and peers. We view our students as capable agents in their own educational journey. They are not only expected to build academic skills, but also to develop tools that empower them to make healthy choices, respond positively to conflict, and grow in areas often overlooked in traditional educational settings.
Unlike traditional schooling, Maria Montessori promoted educational practices that empower rather than control. Students develop character-building skills that many adults are still working to master. While not everyone can easily envision an educational model that balances structure with freedom, Montessori education makes that balance possible.
We strive to share the philosophies of Maria Montessori with our local communities through inclusive school events, highlighting the many opportunities this educational approach offers. We look forward to having these conversations with you.
