ABOUT ST. JOHN'S WORT MONTESSORI SCHOOL
MONTESSORI METHODS
The Montessori method is based on the research of Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori (1870-1952), who developed the educational philosophy after scientifically observing children in learning environments. Dr. Montessori found that children have the effortless ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings and develop confidence by teaching themselves. She developed educational plans based on the natural behavior of a child, untouched by adult commands, classroom competition or regimented schedules. Dr. Montessori’s philosophy remains the foundation of an astounding educational practice today.
​
A Montessori education, Life is developed to foster lifelong learners and self-sufficient problem solvers. Classrooms exhibit distinctive characteristics, including multi-graded students and flexible schedules that allow students blocks of uninterrupted time to pursue their own educational interests. Learning takes place through the senses, as students manipulate materials to enhance concentration and coordination while interacting with peers. Teachers balance freedom and structure, guiding students along in self-discovery and helping them create their own individual learning plan.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Dr. Maria Montessori recognized that the very young child goes through periods of great sensitivity in particular areas which he learns more easily at any time in his life
Montessori is a pesonalized approach in which each child, respected as an individual, discovers the joy of friendship in a spontaneous society.
A totally prepared environment awaits the absorbent mind of the child. Each piece of apparatus is designed to give the child a new experience and develop specific concept. The teacher acts as a catalyst.
