What is the Montessori Method?

The Montessori method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. It emphasizes:

Child-Centered Learning

With gentle guidance from teachers, students choose activities based on their interests, fostering independence and a love of learning.

Prepared Environment

Materials are thoughtfully arranged to be accessible and inviting, encouraging students to engage independently and with confidence.

Hands-On Work

Children engage with materials specifically designed to be explored through touch and movement, supporting the development of fine and gross motor skills.

Mixed Age Classrooms

Classrooms are designed so that older kids can teach younger kids and reinforce their learning while younger kids can learn from the older kids.

Self-Paced Learning

Students progress through the material at a pace that suits their individual learning needs.

About Maria Montessori

Today, the Montessori method is practiced in schools around the world.
