Mixed age classrooms,
Students choosing activities within a prescribed range of options,
Uninterrupted blocks of work time,
A discovery model, where students learn concepts from working with materials rather than by direct instruction,
Specialized educational materials developed by Dr. Montessori and her collaborators,
Special individual attention to each student.
Why Montessori?
Children spend three years in the same classroom with the same Montessori teacher,
Once a child is adapted to the classroom environment, he/she feels secure and comfortable and is able to concentrate on learning,
Due to the long-term relationship and daily observations, the teacher truly understands the individual child's strengths and weaknesses,
The teacher guides each child based upon individual differences,
