We are a small, family oriented school. We have an open policy where parents are free to drop in and observe their child in our safe and naturalized environment.
We try hard to make all of our students well rounded.
In addition to academics, we emphasize self-discipline, good manners and respect towards others.
We are fortunate to be culturally diverse, and we celebrate the heritage of each of our students.
In a Montessori school, the teacher serves as facilitator of learning by functioning as designer of the environment, resource person, role model, demonstrator, record keeper and meticulous observer of each child's behavior and growth. Our head teacher in each classroom has been trained and certified in the Montessori teaching methods.
Each teacher spends many hours outside of class time carefully preparing lessons and activities, considering each student's individual needs to create just the right learning environment.
