Baton Rouge, LA
Montessori School of Baton Rouge

"Our Montessori school is based on the philosophy and curriculum of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator. Born in 1870, she developed a method of educating children. She devoted her life to this work.
Specific educational practices found in Montessori programs include multi-age groupings, a focus on global education, careful design of the teaching/learning environment, and classroom materials, to name a few.
In mixed age group settings children learn from one another, gain autonomy, and develop positive self-esteem. In addition, having a cultural diverse mix in our classrooms helps prepare children to accept, respect, and understand the diversity in our society. We create communities where everyone learns, plays/works, shares, and celebrates together.
Learning about oneself is part of learning about others. Learning is not about winning or competition. Growth occurs in a non-judgmental community where freedom for the individual is balanced with the needs of the group."
