Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Montessori Method?
The Montessori Method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasizing independent, self-directed learning, hands-on discovery, and collaborative play. It encourages children to make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.
How does a Montessori classroom differ from a traditional classroom?
Unlike traditional classrooms, where a teacher leads and children follow, a Montessori classroom is designed around the concept of freedom and choice, empowering children to choose their activities from within a prescribed range of options. Teachers serve as guides and mentors rather than traditional instructors.
What age groups do Montessori schools cater to?
While most Montessori schools serve children from preschool to elementary (ages 3 to 12), some offer programs for toddlers (starting at age 2) and even extend to middle and high school levels.
How do you assess student progress?
Montessori schools assess progress through observation and portfolio assessments rather than traditional grades. These methods help teachers, parents, and children understand the child’s growth across a spectrum of activities and competencies.
Can children with special needs adapt to Montessori?
Yes, the Montessori method’s personalized nature is well suited for children with various learning styles and needs, including those with special needs. The approach respects individual differences and aims to accommodate and challenge each child at their own pace.
