What is Montessori?

Montessori Schools Are Different!

Montessori School of Westwood, Los Angeles, CA

Montessori is an innovative, child-centered approach to education, developed a century ago by a woman ahead of her time. 
Dr. Maria Montessori was an Italian physician. She developed a unique, child focused model for education that prepares children for successful academic and social lives. 
Each Montessori school follows the Montessori curriculum that focuses on creating an individualized and positive learning experience for every child.  
The teachers direct each child in learning experiences appropriate to their age group.
It is love that transforms the social duty of the educator into the higher consciousness of a mission.”   …Maria Montessori (AMS N.D.)

The Montessori Curriculum

The Montessori School Curriculum was created as a result of research by the most renowned education experts. Known as the “Montessori Method” the unique approach  fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical.

The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature.  …Maria Montessori, (AMS N.D.)

This Model Has Been Used Successfully Around the Globe for More Than a Century.

Montessori education is student-led and self-paced. Learning is guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable and caring teachers, as well as the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.

To grasp the essence of Montessori education, just step inside a classroom. As soon as you enter a classroom, you know that something different is afoot. Beautiful, inviting, and thoughtfully arranged, the room embodies each element of Maria Montessori’s revolutionary approach. You will see children working independently and in groups, often with specially designed learning materials; deeply engaged in their work; and respectful of themselves and their surroundings.” …Maria Montessori, (AMS N.D.)

Montessori schools offer a multi age community classroom.

This model is designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability. Children embrace multi-sensory learning and passionate inquiry along with peers. Individual students follow their own curiosity at their own pace.
Each child takes the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized learning goals. Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. 
Montessori students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly with integrity.
