Montessori Method
Based on years of patient observation of child nature.
A Proven Method
Montessori Method has proven itself of universal application. It has been tried with complete success with the children of almost every nation, race, color, climate, nationality, social rank, type of civilization – all these make no difference to its successful application.
Learn by Doing
Based on the child’s need to learn by doing. At each stage in the child’s mental growth, corresponding occupations are provided which develop the child’s inherent talents.
An Active Discipline
Does away with the necessity of coercion by means of rewards and punishments and achieves a higher discipline. It is an active discipline which originates within the child and it is not imposed from without.
Individualized Learning
Enables the teacher to deal with each child individually in each subject, and thus guide the child according to individual interests.
Mutual Help
Does away with the competitive spirit and its damaging results to children. More than this, at every turn it presents endless opportunities among the children for mutual help – which is joyfully given and gratefully received.
Holistic Development
Develops the whole personality of the child, not merely intellectual faculties, but also powers of deliberation, initiative and independent choice, with their emotional complements.
A Joyful Path
Montessori Method has revealed the small child as a lover of work, intellectual work, spontaneously chosen and carried out joyfully.
Enable Scholastic Success
Offers the child a maximum of spontaneity, as well as enabling the child to reach the same, or even higher, level of scholastic attainment as the traditional systems.
Independent Growth
Is based on a respect for the child’s personality and individual drive. It removes the overwhelming influence of adults, thus leaving room to grow in independence. Hence the child is allowed a large measure of liberty (not license) which forms the basis of real discipline. With freedom comes responsibility!
Work at Their Own Pace
Provides each child with the opportunity to work at his /her own pace. Each stone in the mental edifice is “well and truly laid” before the rest is added.
Free Choice
Provides the opportunity for the child to work from his/her own free choice, without competition and coercion.
Good Citizenship
By living as a free member of a real social community, the child is trained in those fundamental social qualities which form the basis of good citizenship.
