How does it work?
All our classrooms operate on the principle of freedom within limits and are based on core Montessori beliefs of respect for each other and the environment. The child is free to work at his/her own pace, with the materials they have chosen. The teacher relies on her empirical observations to determine which new activities to introduce to the child.
The aim is to encourage active, positive and self-directed learning. The younger children are inspired and motivated asking for explanations, while older children share what they have learned while simultaneously reinforcing their own learning and leadership skills. This encourages an atmosphere of inspiration and cooperation.
