School Notes:

Our goal is to give children anticipatory, intuitive ideas and interests that will serve as a foundation for the development of the more complex understanding, attitudes and skills of adults. The Montessori curriculum has been established to introduce the children to such an environment where they can experience the world and their place in this world as members of the human race. In addition, the children through the use of the Montessori materials and accurate, clear language have the opportunity to experience abstract concepts of the world and life in concrete, exploratory, hands-on activities. Teachers are trained to guide students towards becoming great human beings. Henceforth, education becomes a life-long process, for both the teacher and the student.
