My AccountIndividualized Learning
In a Montessori school, the children benefit from both one-on-one and small-group lessons. This approach allows for hands-on learning specifically tailored to each child’s abilities. It also allows for a wide range of skill levels, learning styles, and interests to be supported in one classroom and in one day.
Social & Leadership Skills
The children remain in the same primary classroom for three years, which nurtures a special social dynamic. The children start as the youngest members and grow to become the eldest. To foster cohesion, emphasis is placed on respect and cooperation.
Civic Responsibility
The Montessori classroom allows children to relate to one another with grace and courtesy. Their cooperation and contributions in the classroom present a natural path towards civic responsibility and accountability.
Movement
One tenant of the Montessori philosophy is that the children’s intellectual pursuits are always combined in the classroom with their natural proclivity for movement. The dynamic interplay between their minds, bodies, and hands during these activities builds important skills such as task initiation, organization, problem-solving, and self-control.
Choice-Making
Children in Montessori schools spend their day making independent decisions about their activities and interactions. Though this occurs with steady guidance and age-appropriate limits from the guides, the children’s ability to make choices for themselves enhances their confidence and creativity.
