Why Montessori at Blessed Star Montessori Christian
School?
Montessori Education is child-centered. Montessori teachers
study their students, listen for questions that most children
urgently ask, and discover the learning activities that most
motivate the children in their classroom. They continually adapt
the learning environment to provide optimal conditions for
children`s self-motivated learning.
Montessori fosters independence and self-discipline. The
Blessed Star experience helps children grow into autonomous,
self-confident individuals. Young children learn to take care of
themselves and their environment and to choose their work
independently. As they grow older, they learn to manage their time
and focus on projects that they design.
Montessori creates a nurturing environment. Blessed Star gives
children an environment in which they feel loved by friends and
teachers. Children learn to ask for help when they need it, and to
give help when they can.
Montessori builds a strong foundation of conceptual
understanding. Children work with carefully designed materials at
increasing abstract levels. They develop a firm understanding of
concepts at a concrete level, and later build on those concepts as
they mature into abstract thought.
Montessori cultivates respect and compassion. Blessed Star
teachers share a commitment to multicultural education. Teachers
encourage cooperative work and teach conflict resolution skills.
Children learn to identify and challenge bias, and to see
themselves as part of the rich fabric of society.
Montessori inspires curious, lifelong learners. Blessed Star
encourages children to bring their curiosity to school. Whether
they are inspired to learn tying their shoes or about reptile
behavior, Blessed Star students receive encouragement for
exploration, along with the skills they need to become independent
in their learning.

My 6-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter recently started with this school. From the outside, it may be easy to pass by the building because it is a small school. Once you are inside, speaking with Mrs. Olivia, and seeing the kids learning and enjoying school, you will fall in love with their methods and the people. My children have learned more in one week than they did in half a school year in Pace Public schools. They're not a number, they don't spend their days in lines waiting for other kids to follow instruction. This school cares about the kids and their methods help the kids retain knowledge I never imagined for their ages. Mrs. Olivia is the Headmaster of this school and her heart and knowledge are limitless. I'm grateful for her and this school. My children are learning and love going!

My grandson has been attending this school for the last five years and the difference in him since attending is night and day !I believe is due to the fact that the staff is very carefully chosen . It is obvious that all the staff chosen have a deep love for the children. My other grandson will be attending next year so excited to stay apart of this place .

I love the fact they do not just teach the children to memorize a bunch of information, they take the time to make sure that understand what they are learning. They expose the children to a wide variety of subjects, even at a young age (i.e.: My 5 year old is learning all about Australia, in preparation for our International Day presentations). I also love the fact that they will not limit a child's learning based on their age. If they see that a child needs more challenging work, they are happy to accommodate that need.
