Kriterion A Montessori School (Closed 2006)

About the School

  • Kritérion is a very special school for average and gifted children.
  • It is a prepared environment where children learn, and learn how to learn more.
  • It is to that end that Kritérion gives the needed freedom of movement and of choice.
  • Kritérion School has equipment and materials, which, when thoughtfully handled, help to encourage concentration and to instill the basic concepts needed for further learning.
  • The structure of the learning is guided by the teacher and by the materials themselves.
  • This work leads from the known to the unknown, clarifying one difficulty at a time, and increasing understanding and knowledge.
  • As their motivation and self-discipline deepen, the children develop their native talents at their own pace.
  • Kritérion School offers a basis for lifelong learning.
  • Montessori leads to a way of learning to live, at first sheltered and guided, eventually independent, on its own, continuing through life as joy in learning.
