School Philosophy and Mission

"To provide an excellent, well-rounded education through the use of a Montessori-Good Shepherd curriculum, by a qualified staff and a rich environment of materials. The school is a ministry of the Church of the Apostles (Episcopal).

"The Montessori classroom is uniquely designed to optimize the child's sensitive years, when he can learn readily by absorbing information from an enriched environment. The child grasps abstract concepts that are first introduced through materials he can manipulate. The child can read, write and calculate in the same natural way he learns to walk and talk because the Montessori classroom invites him to learn according to his own periods of interest and readiness. As the child is guided in the correct use of materials, he learns how to order his inner self, which leads to self-discipline, harmony and a prevailing atmosphere of respect within the class.

"The child maintains his enthusiasm for learning, which is key to being a truly educated person. Parents are encouraged to be active partners in their child's education, at home and at school."
