Montessori School

The Montessori Method is an education system developed by Maria Montessori who was the first woman to ever qualify as a doctor in Italy (1896). Through her scientific observation and work with children, she founded the Casa die Bambini (or Children's House) where she developed a philosophy that met the progressive needs of the developing child. This philosophy is based on a child's intrinsic motivation for learning and self-initiated growth.

In a Montessori classroom, a child learns from interacting with materials which provide a concrete representation of an abstract concept. In this way, a child learns an abstract concept with concrete and interactive materials which compel a child to become a self-directed learner through experimenting and problem-solving. The teacher (or directress) guides a child in this process to build self-confidence and cognitive development.

The Montessori classroom is also unique in that it is a mixed age classroom, and the child has the option to choose their activity that are in line with their intrinsic interest. The curriculum is designed with uninterrupted activity time to develop their concentration.

Montessori Curriculum Overview

Practical Life

The Practical Life exercises include activities that involve the child in purposeful work that give a sense of accomplishment and pride while developing motor skills, coordination and proper work habits. This area of the curriculum encourages social development with specific focus on “Grace and Courtesy”.

Sensorial

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Language

Students are introduced to materials that encourage vocabulary enrichment, phonetic sound recognition and cursive letter formation. The language curriculum includes pre-reading and prewriting presentations and follows the child through to “Total Reading and Writing”.

Mathematics

The Mathematics curriculum includes a variety of counting, number recognition as well as symbol and quantity matching exercises. The students’ progress to understanding Mathematics concepts using concrete materials and develop to understand abstract concepts.

Cultural Curriculum

This area of study introduces the child to Geography, History, Botany, Zoology and Science curriculums. The students are again involved with vocabulary enriching materials that also create an awareness and appreciation for the physical world and all that it encompasses.

Creative Art/Music & Movement

The students participate in various Art projects that reflect classroom themes, cultural celebrations and festive holidays. The students are also exposed to rhythm, songs, dance and movement.

How Does a Montessori Education Benefit Children?

Montessori education offers our children opportunities to develop their potential as they step out into the world as engaged, competent, responsible, and respectable citizens with an understanding and appreciation that learning is for life.

“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”

“The Goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.”

- Dr. Maria Montessori
