OUR
MISSION
"Charles Towne Montessori School fosters a passion
for learning and the development of the whole child
by challenging children's intellects, promoting their
independence and inspiring curiosity."
OUR
APPROACH
1.
Montessori is an approach to the education
of children. It is a view of how children develop and
learn which has been translated into a systematic method
of education based upon scientific study.
2. Montessori educates the "whole child".
Montessori believes that schooling should work with
the nature of the child instead of against it. Children
are taught individually, not as a group.
3. The materials in a Montessori classroom are carefully
designed and thoroughly researched to fit the developmental
needs and characteristics of children. The teacher acts
as a guide as the child moves through the curriculum.
4.
The Montessori program is systematically and carefully
sequenced according to principles of development. Every
activity is carefully thought out to build upon previous
preparation and to lead intelligence on to a higher
activity.
5. Montessori teachers are trained to teach respect
and positive values through their modeling as well as
through the way they teach.
