What we believe.
Our schools are based on the educational philosophy and pedagogy of Maria Montessori. "Montessori is a system of education which encompasses both a philosophy of the child's growth and a rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on the child's developmental needs for freedom within limits and a carefully prepared environment that guarantees exposure to materials and experiences. Through our philosophy children develop intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities. The philosophy is designed to take full advantage of the self-motivation and unique abilities of children to develop their own capabilities. Each child needs adults to expose them to the possibilities in their life, but the child must direct their response to those possibilities." — Paula Polk Lillard
"Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment."
— Dr. Maria Montessori
