Freedom to learn at the child's pace

Children have freedom to choose their work throughout the day during an uninterrupted three-hour work cycle and a pm two-hour work cycle. Students choose work from various areas of the classroom: practical life, sensorial, math, language and culture. Science is also a very important component of children’s work in the Montessori environment. The work within the Montessori classroom is authentic and purposeful – the works are developmentally appropriate and foster independence.
