Understanding Montessori

Developed in the late 1800s, the Montessori method of education is as fresh and innovative as it is traditional and proven. It is characterized by exploratory learning in multi-age classrooms, using unique materials and a one-of-a-kind curriculum for children ages 2-12.

Our approach allows students to make creative choices in discovering knowledge of the world around them - through hands-on learning, self-expression and collaborative play in a beautifully crafted environment of respect, peace and joy.

What results are children who are confident, self-reliant and excellent communicators. They are adept problem-solvers, who have been taught over the years to apply previous knowledge to find answers to new questions...essential skills in the 21st century.
