Why Choose Montessori?

Montessori schools are unique educational environment for young children. They differ from traditional schools in that they provide children with individualized instruction to meet their specific needs. In a Montessori setting, children learn at their own pace to ensure they learn all the skills necessary to move on to more challenging lessons. Montessori classrooms also consist of children ages 3-6, so children have an opportunity to learn from and teach others throughout their course in the classroom. The unique community formed in a Montessori classroom is one of the most compelling features of this type of education.

Unique Program Offerings

In addition to the typical lessons in language and math, the Montessori Method provides a holistic approach to educating the young child. Many lessons are given on grace and courtesy which teach young children how to interact with others. Practical life lessons provide the children opportunities to learn many skills they can use in their everyday lives, as well as refine their fine and gross motor skills. Sensorial lessons lay a solid foundation for future math skills and engage the child’s senses. Geography, cultural, peace, science and art lessons are also typically a part of the Montessori curriculum in a Montessori school. These lessons give children exposure to a variety of topics that can pique their interests and curiosity.

Within a 100% Mandarin speaking environment, native speakers provide opportunities for young children to be immersed in a natural language learning experience.
