About the Provider

Description: Our classrooms are places where children are given the opportunity to achieve academic and personal success. The goal in these environments is to encourage the development of a love for learning in each child. The principles put forth by Dr. Montessori are utilized in all classrooms - toddler, primary and elementary. Each of the teachers in these classes uses their training to create environments that cater to the characteristics of the children in their classrooms. Our hope is to provide an opportunity to each student that will lead to their better understanding of the world and the roles that they play in it. The Upper Elementary class serves as a transition from the MIS environment to the world of high school. Adolescents in this class have the opportunity to develop independence, study skills, discipline; and to strengthen their academic abilities. All of the sensorial and reasoning exploration that takes place in the primary and elementary environments leads to abstraction of concepts in the Upper Elementary class. Continued enjoyment for the learning process is fostered
