Why Montessori?
The Montessori Method supports individual learning by “following the child” and fosters independence. Within a Montessori environment, empathy, a passion for social justice, and a joy for lifelong learning are encouraged.
In Montessori, children have the freedom to choose and construct themselves through their work. They learn how to peacefully collaborate with others within a community with the support of nurturing adults to guide them. Children of Montessori education have a strong sense of purpose and confidently know who they are since they have the opportunity for self-direction. These skills are crucial to thrive in any setting.
