Montessori High School Curriculum:
Our Approach to Learning for Your Teenager
Rooted in the pioneering philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, our curriculum is designed to foster independence, critical thinking, and a profound love for learning in each student.
🌱 Targeted Learning:
Montessori high schools emphasize personalized learning, allowing students to progress at their own pace. This can cater to individual strengths, interests, and learning styles.
🧠 Holistic Development:
Montessori education focuses on the holistic development of a teenager, including intellectual, social, emotional, and physical aspects. This approach aims to nurture well-rounded individuals. Montessori education often incorporates hands-on, experiential learning. This can help students understand concepts in a practical context and develop practical problem-solving skills.
🤝 Mixed-Age Classrooms:
Montessori high schools may have mixed-age classrooms, allowing students to interact with peers of different ages. This can promote collaboration, mentorship, and a sense of community.
🎓 College Readiness and Preparation for Life Skills
Our Montessori High School Curriculum goes beyond traditional academic subjects. It encompasses a holistic approach to education, addressing the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of each child. Montessori high schools aim to prepare students not only academically but also for life beyond the classroom. Practical life skills - such as time management and organization - are emphasized.
👩🏫 Student Centered Environment:
Montessori classrooms are designed to be student-centered, encouraging students to take an active role in their learning. This fosters independence, critical thinking, and self-motivation.
📄 Limited Standardized Testing
Montessori schools often have a reduced emphasis on standardized testing. Instead of rote memorization and “teaching to the test”, we focus more on continuous assessment and understanding each student's progress through observation.
