The Montessori School of Syracuse provides children ages 3 to 12 with a quality education based on Montessori philosophy and methods. We strive for our students to reach their full potential as enthusiastic, self-directed, life-long learners and caring, global citizens. Our faculty and staff have a deep respect for each child as an individual. In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, we aim to give each child as much independence as possible while adhering to a carefully designed curriculum. Teachers move among the children, observing their work, introducing materials at appropriate times and directing them through a logical progression of skills. Our students learn by working with carefully designed Montessori materials. These materials encourage hands-on manipulation and exploration, and they help students thoroughly understand the concepts they are learning.
