Curriculum Overview
The main purpose of a Montessori education is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment based on developmental needs that will help the child establish an excellent foundation for creative learning.
The specific goals for the children who attend a Montessori school include:
- Developing a positive attitude toward school
- Individualized learning activities
- Engaging in a learning task that particularly appeals to him or her geared to his or her needs and level of readiness
- Working at his or her own rate, repeating the task as often as he or she likes, thus experiencing a series of successful achievement
- Developing self-confidence
Montessori Curriculum
As educators within the philosophy of Montessori, it is our mission to create an environment that directs the students toward self-actualization in all areas of study by recognizing their stages of development.
