Montessori Center Academy
School Notes Overview:
At Ivy Leaf School Pk-8 We believe that all students can learn. Students are helped to acquire skills in the ability to think critically, to appreciate the arts and humanities and to develop practices which are necessary for maintaining a healthy environment. Students are encouraged to develop good study habits within an environment where self-confidence, self-esteem and ability to make wise choices are strengthened. We believe that the best educational results occur when the students, parents, teachers and administrators are involved. We also believe that excellence in education cannot be achieved without hard work and diligent study. Our focus is on the mastery of study. Our focus is on the mastery of intellectual skills and the development of a positive self-image and personal values which emphasize self-respect and a respect for others. Within the framework of a comprehensive academic curriculum, which emphasizes the mastery of academic skills, in which the history and culture of African people is taught, Ivy Leaf School seeks to prepare students to become effective and productive leaders of the future.”...
