Montessori Education

The Montessori philosophy places an emphasis on individual student choice in learning and a balance between whole class lessons and individual lessons.

Classrooms

You won’t find the customary rows of school desks; children work at tables or on the floor, rolling out mats

Multi-Age Groupings

Multi-Age

Younger children learn from older children; older children reinforce their learning by teaching concepts they mastered.

Teachers

The Montessori teacher prepares a classroom environment with materials and activities that entice her students to learn.

"We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
