School Notes
We encourage you to explore Esprit International School. Here,
you will find an innovative system of education that has been
utilized in Montessori schools around the world for over one
hundred years. It provides a highly successful approach to
educating children to develop the skills to be creative thinkers
and life-long learners.
Current research supports the Montessori method and many
Montessori elementary and secondary programs are currently being
developed across the country and around the world by dedicated
educators from public, private and charter school programs seeking
ways to change the face of education to meet the changing needs of
our society during the "technology revolution." The factory model
approach to education is being replaced by programs similar to
Esprit; programs that encourage creative thinking and problem
solving skills. At Esprit, we are passionate about meeting the
social and emotional needs of students, hand in hand with helping
students excel academically.
There are certain qualities about our school that are
impossible to capture until you visit. As you walk through the
doors on your first visit to Esprit, the warmth and energy is
palpable. The energy and intellect of our teachers is another
quality that must be experienced. In our Montessori classrooms, our
trained, knowledgeable teachers guide our students` work with
creativity and love. They offer challenge and support to the
adolescent thinkers in our Middle School; they offer guidance and
opportunity to our Elementary students; they offer respectful
nurture to our children in Preschool.
We encourage you to spend time exploring our website at
espritinternationalschool.com. As you do this, we hope many of
your questions are answered, but we also hope that it sparks
new questions for you. In fact, we hope it leads you to call
us, to come for a tour, and to see Esprit for yourself. Only by
visiting can you experience all that we have to offer. We
believe that you will be captured by the prepared environments of
our classrooms, the displays of art, and the sounds of music. But
what we really hope you see is our school family in action: a
child talking with a teacher, parents working together, or a middle
school student helping a younger child.
Learning, exploring, and smiling students are the most
important members of our family, and they are the focus of an
Esprit education. Underneath all our interactions with children lie
the Montessori tenets: multi-aged, diverse classrooms; prepared
environments designed to facilitate choices for children; teachers
acting as role models and facilitators; and an atmosphere of
respect, grace, and courtesy.
Esprit offers a wonderfully unique educational environment,
and we invite you to experience it first-hand. Come for a
visit, let our family welcome yours, and watch us live our mission
as "a community of families, staff, and trustees who work together,
guided by the needs of our children."
Please feel free to contact the office at any time by calling
281-298-9200. You may also email office@espritschool.com with your
questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
Decades ago private schools could have been accused of being elitist. You had to have money to attend. The student populations were fairly homogeneous. Fortunately that has changed.
