School Motto: “We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit.” Maria Montessori
Toddler Program:
- Children aged 18 months - 2 1/2 years of age may apply for
the Toddler program. A tremendous portion of a child`s brain
development takes place in the first three years of life. The focus
in the toddler room is on developing language, motor and self-help
skills and helping children build trusting relationships. The
classroom is truly toddler friendly; chairs, tables, sinks and
materials are sized specifically for this age group.
Primary Program:
- Children aged 3 - 6 years of age may apply for the Primary
program. The primary classrooms focus on developing the building
blocks for learning: concentration, independence, order, and
self-confidence. Children in this age group have an extraordinary
capacity to absorb information from their surroundings. The
Montessori environment is designed to support children`s affinity
for learning at their own periods of interest and readiness.
Elementary Program:
- Children aged 6 - 12 years of age may apply for the
Elementary program.
The Lower Elementary classroom is designed to encourage
resourcefulness, initiative, and increased curiosity. As students
expand their reading, writing, and math skills, they also nourish
their imaginations through a hands-on, integrated curriculum. Our
students actively participate in the educational process and work
hard for the sheer joy of it.
In the Upper Elementary classroom, students learn to challenge
themselves beyond what is traditionally taught at a certain age.
Students continue their journeys through the study of history,
complex algebra and geometry, science, and geography. The focus is
on developing the foundation for lifetime learning while
emphasizing independent research.
