Montessori
The Montessori Program cultivates individualism, freedom of choice, greater problem-solving ability, and social development in children. At the same time, it promotes academic achievement and peer acceptance in a non-competitive environment. Literature, the arts, history, social issues, civics, economics, science and technology all complement one another in the Montessori curriculum. Activities promote the development of self-expression, self-awareness, critical thinking, commitment, and responsibility. Students think for themselves and become actively engaged in the learning process.
