Montessori MethodA Montessori education is designed to adapt to and fit a student's needs, interests, and development while still teaching core academic subjects and fundamental skills.
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an early expert on child development. She believed that children are motivated by a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. She felt that if a child were allowed to experience the empowerment of learning by his or her own choice rather than being forced, and if their skills for learning were honed, the child would be in a unique position to maximize their future learning situations. Dr. Montessori revolutionized education practice by shifting the paradigm of a teacher-centered system to a student-centered one. She believed that the goal of a school should be to cultivate a child's natural desire to learn, not to simply fill the child with facts. |
