What makes Montessori schools unique?
The Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is based on the idea that children are naturally curious and learn best when given the opportunity to explore and discover. Classrooms emphasize:
- Mixed-age classrooms: Students learn in three-year groupings (e.g., preschool 3–6, lower elementary 6–9), encouraging peer-to-peer teaching and collaboration.
- Hands-on materials: Specialized Montessori materials (“manipulatives”) help children build skills in math, language, and practical life activities.
- Child-led learning: Children move around the classroom, selecting tasks that interest them, while teachers act as guides rather than lecturers.
- Uninterrupted work periods: Extended blocks of time allow children to focus deeply and build independence.
