The Montessori School

"Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence."

Dr. Maria Montessori

Our Mission

What is Montessori

Montessori education is movement-oriented, observation-based teaching, founded on the research and writings of Dr. Maria Montessori, who opened the first school in Italy in 1907. Instead of rows of desks, raised hands, and worksheets; in a Montessori classroom, you will find students working at small tables or rugs on the floor, moving about the room to get the mateirals they need for their lessons. Teachers regularly observe the children to see what interests and academic or developmental needs they have, and present lessons based on those observations.
