"It's the best place in Chesterfield for education! I love how the school is not just for the elite, but for people who want their children to be a true citizen of the world."
Golden Buckeye
"Wonderfully small school with caring and student focused teachers and staff. A place my child is becoming an individual in a big way."
Elizabeth Peterson
"My children are both thriving here! I can't wait to see what they learn next."
What Is Montessori?
The big ideas:
-
All children are whole people and inherently worthy of respect
-
Good education is the key to making the world a better place. Children are the future.
-
Children are naturally curious and want to learn.
-
Every child is learning on their own timeline.
-
Playing is the work of childhood. A concentrating child is working very hard and deserves to have their work respected.
​
What do these big ideas mean in the classroom?
-
Mixed age and mixed ability classrooms.
-
Teachers prepare the environment for the child, not the other way around. Materials are low and within reach. Furniture is smaller and more accessible.
-
Freedom within limits. The child is free to choose what to work on, to work as long as they like, and to take movement breaks.
