School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Aidan begins with a deep respect for children as unique individuals. There is a concern for the development of the whole child—social and emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual. An underlying purpose of an Aidan Montessori School education is to aid the child in independence and self-formation by creating an environment that can unlock the inherent potentials and intelligences within each child."
