Children experience success as they flourish in surroundings of respect and concern.
The staff of certified Montessori teachers respects each child's uniqueness and plans the progress of each student in accordance with the needs, interest, and abilities of the student. School of the Woods, an American Montessori Society affiliate, integrates contemporary materials and methods with Montessori education in the classroom environment. The elementary, upper elementary and middle school classes extend experiences at each successive level and offer truly unique programs of interdisciplinary learning and real-life applications. Dr. Maria Montessori designed this educational system to express her philosophy of child development. Modern research strongly supports her theory that children learn through their interactions with the objects and people in their environment.
