Quick summary of Montessori education in Whitby
- Montessori schools in Whitby provide a unique alternative to conventional schools. Its progressive approach, introduced by Maria Montessori, is used in thousands of schools worldwide.
- These schools are child-centred. They don’t have a pre-planned or one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, children’s studies radiate from their core interests into all curricular areas.
- Teachers capitalize on the way children naturally learn. Children learn in developmentally appropriate ways and thereby build confidence and self-esteem.
- Learning is decentralized. Teachers rarely lecture, and children do lots of self-directed work, mostly at their own pace. Children often do work that interests and stimulates them, either independently or in small groups.
- There’s plenty of concrete learning and practical life activities. However, there tends to be more abstract learning at the higher levels.
