What Is Montessori?
The Montessori method of educating children is a time-tested, scientifically validated approach that centers on the individualized educational and developmental needs of the child.
Children learn at their own pace, exploring advanced academic concepts and skills through hands-on materials and freedom of choice. Adolescents apply formal academic skills and concepts through projects that are solving genuine needs of the land or the many businesses on the farm. All students learn to care for themselves, their community, and the environment in an integrated approach that prepares them for adulthood.
Students with a Montessori education carry with them a strong sense of self and an innate love of learning. They emerge with a maturity and independence that drives them to be confident problem solvers, who are aware of their community, and who pursue their passions through their chosen college and career pathways.
