Introduction

We are happy that you are considering joining our school family. A commitment of this nature shows your recognition of the significance of these early years. We look forward to sharing in your child’s learning and growing.
We serve children 3years old to 6th grade.

Montessori Areas of Learning

Our Montessori program focuses on developing the individual child for up to First Grade. Activities such as those used in the practical life area may appear unimportant or insignificant. However, the value lies within the process of these activities. These Practical Life tasks nurture the child’s qualities of respect, independence, concentration, confidence, attention for detail, and coordination. All are qualities for successful living. Our Sensorial Area focuses on all of your child’s senses and will open the world to them. Through Sensorial the child can start making determinations and propel themself forward and start to problem solve. Language area focuses on oral communication and learning to read and write. Our Math area goes from the concrete to the written symbol and then to association of the concrete and the written symbol. They will finally move to abstraction.For Elementary children we have the great stories. We also focus on all of the above work areas with focus on exploration.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd

We also offer Catechesis of the Good Shepherd once a week. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a religious education program created to Sophia Cavalletti and her Montessori collaborator Gianna Gobbi in Rome. Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is Scripture and Liturgical Based program with a hands-on focus. This program is optional, and you may choose to opt-out. We have Level 1 for ages 3 to 6 years old. Level II for ages 6 to 9. Level III for ages 9 to 12.
