School Notes

  • Our goal is not only to give our students a solid academic background, but to prepare our student's total environment, raising their developmental awareness to extend beyond the classroom.
  • The Montessori method allows us to focus on the individual needs of each student.
  • Close, family-like relationships are developed in the classroom.
  • Students are taught values as well as academics.
  • The Montessori method advocates teaching children to be "Motivated toward productivity and not stifled into passivity." This concept lends itself to developing students that acquire and keep an interest in learning, and who are responsible and self disciplined.

This school is amazing with a huge five acre property that includes a large playground, two pony's with stables, a swimming pool and more. The facility is secure and most importantly the children learn.
