The Montessori Way
Whole Child - A Montessori education supports the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of each child.
Concrete to Abstract - Children thrive when using concrete materials for meaningful experiences and context in understanding abstract concepts.
Individualized Learning - Individualized learning plans encourage children to pursue their unique talents and gifts. Individual interests enhance learning.
Child-driven - Children work at their own pace, fulfilling their individual goals while developing self-management skills. Research shows a positive impact found in choice and movement.
