Benefits of Choosing a Montessori Education?

Montessori curriculum aims to support every aspect of a child’s development. These aspects include four elements — cognitive, emotional, physical, and social development — that make up what Montessori refers to as the whole child. Our students are extremely adaptable as they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age and learned to work independently and in groups. Additionally, these students are problem-solvers that can make appropriate choices and manage their time well. Montessori students are encouraged to exchange ideas and discuss their work freely with others. As a result, children develop good communication skills, easing the way for them to enter new settings. A positive sense of self-esteem has been identified as one of the key predictors of future success. Montessori programs foster the development of positive self-esteem as they are based on self-directed, non-competitive activities that help children develop strong self-images and the confidence to face challenges and change with optimism.

Montessori schools inspire confidence, nurture the child’s innate desire for learning, discovery, and social interaction skills in an environment where teachers are encouraging, engaging and value each individual child. Children learn how to learn, and this prepares each child for future academic and social excellence. Montessori programs offer freedom for children to work at their own pace, without interruption, choosing from a range of activities that are developmentally challenging and appropriate.
