Our mission is to inspire children to develop independent thinking, self-discipline, and a love of learning using the Montessori methodology.
Our aim is to create a diverse community that welcomes everyone.
Why montessori?
Montessori schools hold a profound respect for each child as a unique individual, supporting their social and emotional development as well as their academic progress.
Montessori children are known for their warmth, kindness self- confidence and respect for others.
We create warm and supportive communities of students, teachers and parents. Your child will never get lost in the crowd!
We do not focus on memorization; our goal is to help students to understand and apply what they learn. Our students learn through hands-on experience, investigation, and research. They become actively engaged in their studies rather than passively waiting to be spoon fed.
We challenge students to develop a passion for excellence in whatever they do.
Montessori is designed to recognise a wide range of learning styles, helping students to learn most effectively.
Montessori children tend to develop self–discipline and an internal sense of purpose and motivation. These habits truly pay off in college and throughout their lives.
Montessori schools reflect an international curriculum and diverse student body. We give our students a global perspective.
Our curriculum is integrated and every class teaches critical thinking , composition and research. History lessons link architecture, the arts, science and technology.
Our students learn through collaboration and work together on major projects. They strive for their personal best.
“We chose Montessori Academy for the positive environment that would encourage independence and boost confidence. Not all kids learn the same way and at Montessori Academy the children are treated as individuals and lessons are catered to how each will best learn. Miss Denise and the faculty show nothing but warmth and the feelings of a close family unit to the children and parents alike.”
The Montessori Method
The Montessori Method is a philosophy that respects the unique individuality of each child. Dr. Montessori believed in the worthiness, value and importance of children. The method is founded on the belief that children should be free to succeed and learn without restriction or criticism.
It is also an approach to education that takes to heart the needs, talents, gifts, and special individuality of each child. The main concept of Montessori is to promote the joy of learning. This joy of learning develops a well adjusted person who has a purpose and direction in his or her life. Children, who experience the joy of learning, are happy, confident, fulfilled children. In essence, Montessori helps bring forth the gift of each child.
Another important skill it teaches is self-reliance and independence. It helps a child to become independent by teaching him or her life skills, which is called practical life. Montessori children learn to dress themselves, help cook, put their toys and clothes away and take an active part of their household, neighborhood and school.
Montessori works in a methodical way. Each step in the process leads to the next level of learning. When a child plays, he or she is learning concepts for abstract learning. Repetition of activities is an integral part of this learning process.
The main goal of Montessori is to provide a stimulating, child oriented environment that children can explore, touch, and learn without fear. An understanding parent or teacher is a large part of this child's world. The end result is to encourage life long learning, the joy of learning, and happiness about one's path and purpose in life.
