Shrewsbury Montessori School is a not for profit school serving the needs of children ages 3 years (by 8/31)to 12 years (pre-school through grade 6). Our goal is to provide a warm, non-competitive environment in which each child is accorded the respect and freedom necessary to realize and develop his or her unique personality and potential. The school's philosophy and teaching method is based on the work of Maria Montessori. All classes are made up of children of mixed ages and abilities who are encouraged to work, play, and learn together at their own pace. A calm and supportive atmosphere helps to build confidence and encourages each student to become an independent, creative, self-disciplined, caring, and academically capable member of society. The Shrewsbury Montessori School provides a prepared environment in which each child may live his life according to the laws of his development. Our goal is to develop the personality of the whole child and to encourage such concepts as creativity, self-discipline, initiative, independence, self-confidence, and a sense of personal and communal responsibility. ...read more
