What is Montessori Education?

Montessori Education is a unique approach to learning that promotes self-expression, independent exploration, and creative problem solving.

It is based on the teachings of the Italian physician, educator, and innovator Maria Montessori, and it has been in practice for over 100 years.

Here are some key aspects of Montessori education:

  • Children are encouraged to explore their interests by engaging in activities at their own pace.
  • Positive reinforcement and real-world experience guide learning.
  • Emphasis is placed on using hands-on materials to aid understanding and discovery.
  • The environment encourages independence, respect for oneself and others, and a curiosity for learning.
  • Students develop meaningful relationships with their peers and teachers.
  • Independence and interdependence are balanced in order to foster successful collaboration and teamwork.
