Montessori Philosophy

The Montessori method has been tested and proven successful throughout the world for more than seventy years.

  • Children are challenged at their own pace.
  • Children are free to choose their work within limits.
  • Children of varying ages work together in the same classroom, supporting both academic and social growth.
  • The method seeks to develop the whole child socially, mentally, and physically.
  • The child is encouraged to become an independent learner. It is the child’s natural aptitude for learning that is tapped and cultivated.
