About Montessori Approach

While Montessori children learn together, each student’s course is individually determined with one-on-one guidance from the teacher. Montessori children follow their passion wherever that passion leads, however quickly it leads them, regardless of what other students in the class are doing. By taking ownership of their learning, Montessori students joyfully and effectively learn independence, responsibility and initiative. They become leaders, innovators and lifelong learners.

Each Montessori classroom is meticulously designed to accommodate the developmental levels of every child. Shelves are placed within easy reach, and objects such as tables and water pitchers are appropriately sized for smaller hands. Unique educational tools like the Pink Tower and Brown Stairs enable students to engage in hands-on, practical, and enjoyable learning experiences. This approach fosters a learning environment where life lessons and essential academic concepts are not merely taught but naturally discovered. As each student engages in their unique way, they develop a deeper understanding and retention of knowledge.
Montessori classrooms encompass three-year age ranges rather than a single year, allowing students to learn from both older and younger peers. Recent neuropsychological research supports that enriched, experiential learning environments significantly contribute to children's cognitive development. The educational philosophy pioneered by Maria Montessori in the late 1800s continues to be a subject of academic interest and a source of considerable benefits for our students.
