We offer multi age programs for children from infancy to Grade 8 fostering the love of learning, academic excellence, creativity and mutual respect.The school features a collaborative learning environment, based on the time-honored principles developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over 100 years ago, designed to stimulate each student`s critical thinking skills, cultivate inquisitive minds and empower children to actively participate in the rapidly changing environment of the 21st century.The Montessori teaching methodology is uniquely based upon observation, peer learning, tactile learning materials and intrinsic motivation.
Within each classroom, multiple grades or levels of students are combined, creating an environment whereby students serve as leaders for one-another.
These elements all come together to create a truly distinctive and remarkable approach to education.Our school is a bilingual school, a pioneer in Naples, FL, offering daily Spanish instruction in Primary and Elementary classes and three times per week for Infants and Toddlers.
