Guides (teachers) are trained in Montessori philosophy and methodology.

The learning community includes students, staff, families and professionals from the surrounding community.

Our school has formed a partnership with a local nursing home.

Classes include a multi-aged, multi-grade, heterogeneous group of students.

A diverse set of Montessori materials, activities and experiences which are designed to foster physical, intellectual, creative and social independence are used to educate all students.

This student is practicing parts of speech.

The daily schedule provides students with large blocks of uninterrupted time to solve problems, to see the interdisciplinary connections of knowledge and to create new ideas.

In addition to the Montessori materials, students use other authentic tools such as reference books for research, maps for the study of geography and rulers, protractors and compasses when practicing geometry.

The learning atmosphere encourages social interaction for cooperative learning, peer teaching and emotional development.

Putting on a skit to teach other students how to walk respectfully in line.

The whole art of being a Montessori directress, one might almost say, lies in knowing when to intervene and when not to.  The general rule is that the teacher should not intervene when she finds the child engaged in some spontaneous activity which is orderly and creative.
