While the acquisition of knowledge is essential, this is seen as part of becoming a full and responsible human being, rather than an end in itself. Nature lays down a plan for the construction of personality. However, the plan becomes realized only through the children's activities when they are placed in the circumstances favorable to its fulfillment. Dr. Montessori's unique teaching methods, utilizing specially-trained teachers and sequential, concrete materials, within a prepared environment, allow the child to fully develop individually at his or her own developmental pace. In concert with the academic curriculum, the school promotes social, political and moral understanding through various extra-curricular offerings.
Students express themselves creatively through music, art, and writing.
We believe that to neglect personal character is to court disaster. While the acquisition of knowledge is vital, it is nothing without moral character. The elementary segment was designed to continue the outstanding fundamental concepts initiated by Maria Montessori's method. Many faculty members also hold a masters degree in the fields of psychology and education. Our quest for excellence in all areas contributes to the development of a total child.
