Montessori education begins with a deep respect for children as unique individuals and a deep concern for their social, emotional, academic, physical, and spiritual development. Montessori is designed to recognize and address different learning styles, helping students to study most effectively.
Students progress as they master new skills, moving ahead as quickly as they are ready.
Montessori challenges and sets high expectations for all students, not only those considered gifted. Montessori students learn through hands on experience, investigation and research. Montessori classrooms are not run solely by teachers. Instead, students help develop leadership skills and independence by helping to create and manage their community. Students learn to care about others and participate in improving their communities through community service projects.
