What is Montessori?

Montessori is a personalized approach to learning which recognizes that each child learns  with a unique style and pace, and that children learn best in a prepared environment  which supports and respects their individual development. It is also based on the premise that the intellectual, physical and social needs of children are inseparable and equally important. The century-old Montessori method is based on how children learn naturally, and many believe it is the way every child should have the opportunity to learn.Montessori students develop positive attitudes about learning, a positive image of themselves as learners and a strong sense of independence and responsibility. The Montessori experience produces self-motivated, self-disciplined, independent learners with characteristics that benefit them throughout their school years and into adulthood.
