Why Montessori
Montessori offers an extremely advanced and innovative academic program. The foundation established by the Montessori Method of Education is recognized by teachers, schools and colleges worldwide. The Montessori Curriculum should be introduced in the early years of a child’s life - ideally at 18 months of age, but at least by three years of age - and continued into later years.
Among many other benefits:
| |
• |
Children learn at their own pace through individualized and specially tailored lessons, thus securing a thorough understanding of the subject, and sense of confidence and achievement.
|
| |
• |
Lessons are introduced in stages starting with simple and concrete, so as to allow for a comfortable learning start and instill a sense of success. Throughout the consequent years, the lessons are then repeated and reintroduced with added levels of abstraction and complexity, without the child being aware it, thereby strengthening the child’s independence, self confidence and self esteem.
|
| |
• |
The curriculum is organized into overlapping rather than individualized subjects. This approach enables children to study the various aspects and levels of a particular topic over extended periods of time, thus cementing its understanding and avoiding mere memorization.
|
| |
• |
Multi-age class groups allow for advanced cross-learning and thorough socialization.
