At EnGrace Montessori Academy our mission is to prepare our children with a strong foundation of education that will guide them to grow as independent learners, critical thinkers and flourish with discipline. Our vision is for our school to follow the philosophy of Maria Montessori, we provide an environment where children feel emotionally and physically safe, are valued, grow and learn to their maximum potential, think independently, and contribute to the world and society in innovative and meaningful ways.
The essence of Dr. Maria Montessori’s method is to allow for the development of natural human tendencies and to help children as they adapt to their culture. The curriculum is specifically designed, enticing and self-correcting materials which provide each child with a foundation for academics and every field of study.
A goal of the Montessori program is to help children think for themselves and to be actively involved in their own education. This is one distinction between a Montessori program and many conventional school programs. The Montessori environment is filled with beautiful and enticing age- appropriate materials.
The Montessori materials cover developmental activities designed to meet the requirements of children in five curriculum areas:
The Montessori Method takes account of the needs, talents and special individuality of each child. The children learn at their own pace, so they are not being constrained or criticized for what they do. There is total freedom to learn which makes the learning fun.
