Montessori Belief + Principles

Researchers today have confirmed Dr. Montessori's belief that intellectual skills develop when a child's learning process engages as many senses as possible and when the child is happy. Montessori education involves children emotionally and physically with hands-on materials and challenging concepts. In Montessori, multi-age classrooms promote collaboration between students of different ages. Younger children have role models to learn from, while older children develop leadership qualities. As children progress through Montessori education, they enhance their aesthetic and artistic sense, learn practical life skills, and study language, mathematics, science, art, music, geography, and history. They become confident and enthusiastic learners.

Research studies have demonstrated that Montessori-educated students are well-prepared emotionally, socially, and academically for life. They perform well on standardized tests and excel in following directions, adapting to new situations, meeting deadlines, listening attentively, taking responsibility, asking thought-provoking questions, and showing enthusiasm for learning.
