We believe learning is an exciting process and from the moment we are born we begin the adventure of teaching ourselves about our world. A young child learns best in a “prepared environment” alongside a fully trained guide to help them grow to fulfill their greatest potential. In the Montessori Method all five senses are emphasized as a natural means to motivate a child’s innate and individual learning style. A child will gain and then “own” their right to lifelong learning through a profound ability to concentrate and a strong sense of self-discipline. As they master each new lesson, their self-confidence will grow leading to the desire to learn more and therefore building a strong sense of self worth.

From infancy to adolescence, the Montessori classroom offers familiar academics such as math, language, science, history, and geography. In order to best educate the “whole child” the classroom also features lessons in grace and courtesy, practical life, sensorial, foreign language, cultural studies, biology, art, and music.
