Montessori at the Glance

*  Montessori schools begin with a deep respect for children 

as unique individuals.  They work from a deep concern for 

their social and emotional development.

*  Montessori schools are warm and supportive communities 

of students, teachers, and parents.  

Children don't get lost in the crowd!

*  Montessori classrooms are not run by the teachers alone.  

Students are taught to manage their own community and 

develop leadership skills and independence.

*  Montessori assumes that children are born intelligent; 

they simply learn in different ways and progress at their own pace.  

The Montessori approach to education is consciously designed 

to recognize and address different learning styles, helping students 

learn to study most effectively.  Students progress as they master 

new skills, moving ahead quickly as they are ready.
