Montessori program
philosophy has been linked to the teaching of critical thinking skills,
developmentally appropriate instruction, multicultural curriculum,
multi-sensory curriculum, integrated curriculum and cooperative
learning. The Montessori method is based on a child’s natural desire to
learn. Students actively learn within a prepared environment of
attractive, carefully sequenced materials and engage in many independent
tasks that they complete at their own pace. The Montessori program is
organized into multi-aged classrooms that include the lower elementary
for 1st through 3rd graders and the upper elementary that include 4th
and 5th graders.
