Montessori

The Montessori principles of independence, respect and responsibility for children are woven throughout all we do. Our classes are multiage, where younger children learn from the older ones. In an environment that enhance harmony between mind and body.

We have some development areas based on the Montessori method. :

Practical Life: Activities which link the home and class, developing grace and courtesy, care of self and care of the environment.

Sensorial: Works which enable the child to order, classify and describe the world through the senses.

Mathematics: Use of manipulative materials allows children to internalize math and number concepts.

Language Arts: Oral and written opportunities for expression lead to reading, grammar.

Cultural study: Geography, history and life science as well as art, music and dance integrated into the daily work of the class.

Grace and courtesy: Each interaction in the classroom offers students the opportunity to engage in exercises of grace and courtesy. Experiences such as learning to move elegantly through space, setting a table, or extending an offer of help to a friend are but a few examples of this area
