A Welcome from Our Founder

We believe that education is “an aid to life” and its end result is a mature, healthy adult. Everything we do reflects a respect for each child, their potential, their individuality, and their humanity. We seek to help children become independent, self-disciplined, internally motivated, and enthusiastic learners.

We believe that quality education should not drain families’ financial resources nor waste the resources of our planet. Thus, we are committed to providing the highest quality educational programs and services for children and parent s that we can for the lowest possible cost. In order to keep costs down and quality high, we must have the assistance and cooperation of every member of the school community . This holds true at every level of program and every area of school operations, whether private or chartered.

Our Work

Dr. Maria Montessori said that children’s play is their work. In that same spirit, we believe that children learn through doing, through experimenting, through making choices and by making mistakes. In this way, they gain mastery of their physical bodies, their emotions, and their minds. When children gain mastery in these areas, they come to exemplify our belief that acquiring information is a means to an end and not an end in itself. Thus, they learn to use knowledge as a tool in the process of becoming independent thinkers and creative problem solvers.

Montessori schools foster independence, creativity, and a love for learning through hands-on exploration and individualized education. A Montessori education promotes critical thinking skills and prepares students for lifelong success.
