The Montessori Difference
To be curious, self-directed, and engaged; to be compassionate, collaborative, and think critically;
to be adaptable
and problem solve these so called soft skills are now seen as most necessary for our rapidly changing world.
Montessori education focuses on all of these with the same amount of importance as academic skills.

Montessori Class room
The classrooms are prepared by scaling everything down to the students size and gearing all materials to their inner needs.
This allows the student to learn by making their own choices and by moving at their own pace.
A classroom environment is best understood
by a student when they can make immediate personal contact and have a hands-on experience with everything in the room.
The Child
"As we observe children, we see the vitality of their spirit, the maximum effort put forth in all they do, the intuition, attention and focus they bring to all lifes events, and the sheer joy they experience in living."

Green School
Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find
a puddle of water; and, when the grass of the meadows is damp with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet;
let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath it's shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them
in the morning as it wakes every living creature that divides its day between waking and sleeping.
When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.
The Discovery of the Child. Maria Montessori.
