School Notes Overview: |
The Homestead School opened in September, 1978, to provide a rich academic and practical education within an exceptional rural setting. Non-discriminatory, non-sectarian, and associated with the American Montessori Society, the School offers its students a warm, relaxed nursery program, kindergarten, and primary grades based on the Montessori approach to education. The Homestead School provides each child with a choice of constructive academic and social experiences of suitable challenge to his level. The school's handcrafted, manipulative materials offer the child a concrete approach to sequenced programs in math and numbers, language, science, geography, social studies, daily living skills, sensorial training, and large muscle activities. Attractive and designed for individual use, the learning materials allow each child the chance to take on tasks repeatedly until mastery. As a result, the child develops independence, self-discipline, and the ability to work with concentration on solving problems.
