Overview
New World Montessori School is a product of over 40 years of experience, study, and observation.
Our goals are to encourage and nurture the children in the self-discovery of their world.
The curriculum has been developed to encourage the children to have a lifelong love of learning.
We provide a non-competitive environment where children of different abilities, race, cultural backgrounds, and ages work, play, share, and learn from one another.
Our school mission is to guide children in developing their full potential in an environment that is committed to preserving the legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori and to ensure that every education is regarded as special with the conviction that all children are gifted and talented.
Mission Statement : We look to each day with a commitment to inspire purposeful learning, cultivate character, and celebrate childhood.
The school encourages its students to reach their highest individual potential intellectually, artistically and physically; it nurtures their emotional, moral and social development; and it prepares them to meet the challenges of a diverse and competitive world.
We, of the John Thomas Dye School believe the education of a child is the responsibility of the parents, the child, and the faculty of the School.
Each of these three influences is an integral part of a successful educational experience for the child.
This basic philosophy has enabled the school to develop an atmosphere that stresses the right of each individual to be different and unique while developing confidence, mutual respect, and a degree of cooperation, allowing the student to strive for higher academic achievement, to develop an understanding of the right of others, and to grow in self-esteem.
Our goal is to have each student grow socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically, thus enabling each to be a creative, productive, and responsible contributor to society, more specifically, to foster in each child a genuine self-esteem built upon the acquisition of the ability to use appropriate cognitive and social skills commensurate with the child's maximum potential for achievement.
