CHARLES
TOWNE MONTESSORI
... where your child loves learning
Inspiring.
Passionate. Exciting. Creative.
These
are just a few of the words that describe the learning
environment and children who learn at Charles Towne
Montessori School.
As
one of South Carolina's oldest and most distinguished
Montessori schools, Charles Towne Montessori School
provides a comprehensive program educating children
from infancy through the elementary years. We're the
only school in South Carolina that is internationally
accredited.
Our
certified AMI (Association Montessori International)
and AMS (American Montessori Society) teachers are passionately
committed to the pedagogical principles and approach
of Dr. Maria Montessori.
During
the most recent school year, we celebrated the beginning
of our 36th year and the 101st year anniversary of Dr.
Montessori's first school, the Casa dei Bambini (House
of Children), in Rome, Italy. It was in this first school
that Montessori, a trained physician, would begin a
course that would transform her life and the lives of
thousands of children throughout the world.
Observing
a Montessori classroom where children work independently
and at their own pace in a child-centered environment
is truly a rewarding and transforming experience. We
encourage you to schedule
a tour to see this magical process in action

TESTIMONIAL
"We
visited CTMS on a recommendation from friends. At the
time, we were unaware of the the dynamics of the Montessori
method. We enrolled our son as an infant, and ... we
can see a big difference in social skills, ability to
process verbal commands, and his willingness to help
and take responsibility to put things where they belong
compared to other children that go to traditional daycare/in-home
care."
"We highly recommend observing children
in the Montessori environment at CTMS. It's amazing
to see what your child is capable of, and how all ages
and personalities can thrive in this environment."
