Think and act for themselves

Students participate in individual and group lessons. Individual lessons allow children to work at their own pace in mathematics and language, while group lessons in the cultural subjects (history, botany, zoology, geography) give students the opportunity to gain communication skills necessary in cooperative learning. The multi-aged, multi-grade groups of students encourage social interaction for cooperative learning and peer teaching. Montessori students are encouraged to be creative, responsible and independent. Montessori helps children to think and act for themselves, independently and with the courage of thought.


The most important time of life is birth to age six.
