We welcome the opportunity to meet and show you our school. Please visit our Contact Us page to arrange your first visit. Sincerely, Mark F. Meyer Executive Director Hands on Science Dr. Montessori passed a deep love for the world of nature on to thousands of students through a program of outdoor education, gardening and camping experiences. We see this as the foundation of a lifelong interest in the sciences. We want our students to be fascinated by the universe and to honestly enjoy the process of discovering its secrets and interrelationships.
Science is an integral element of our curriculum.
Our program is designed to cultivate our students' curiosity and determination to discover the truth for themselves. We teach them how scientists go about their work. They learn how to observe patiently, analyze, and work at each problem. They eagerly engage in field trips and experiments, and enjoy the precision of measurement, gathering data, classification and prediction. With encouragement and a solid foundation, even very young children are ready and anxious to investigate their world, to wonder at the interdependence of living things, and to explore the ways in which the physical universe works, and to project how it all may have come to be.
