School Philosophy & Day in the Life
School Philosophy and Mission
Since its inception in 1977, the Montessori School of Oak Ridge (MSOR) has been dedicated to providing a high quality Montessori program to children ages 2 to 6 years from all racial, ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds. We believe that each child is unique and, therefore, capable of developing a strong sense of self during these formative years. We encourage self-discovery and promote self-directed behavior, individual growth, cooperation, and respect for others. We believe that children who are guided, rather than directed, learn to take pride in their work and come to delight in their own discoveries. At the Montessori School of Oak Ridge, we aim to lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and personal development.

Director's Comments on Individualized Teaching
Parents' Comments
Parent #1
The primary teacher or guide (as they are called in a Montessori environment) is outstanding. We are very fortunate to have someone as good as Mandy is.

Discipline

are handled extraordinarily well in a way that not only gives me confidence in the safety of my child but also reassures me that my child (and his/her peers) are learning the early skills needed to socialize effectively with one another
