School Notes

Acarath Montessori is a preschool day-care and first grade elementary school.
The word Acarath is an acronym for Academics, Arts and Athletics.
Montessori philosophy and education is the mainstay of the center.
While the children spend time each day in auxiliary activities, Montessori philosophy governs the interaction of children with the staff, each other, and the environment.
For an explanation of Montessori philosophy and its everyday application, see "Montessori Philosophy." Acarath is unique because of the activities we offer, and our student's daily schedule.
