HOW DOES MONTESSORI WORK?

Each Montessori classroom operates on the principle of freedom within limits. Children are free to work at their own pace with materials they have chosen, either alone or with others. The teacher acts as a facilitator, encouraging active, self-directed learning.

The multi-year span in each class provides family-like grouping where learning can take place naturally. The older children mentor the younger ones, thereby reinforcing their own learning. The bonds developed between the teachers, children and families, working together over a period of years, is strong and lasting.
