Montessori Education Comes to Rescue Union School Dist.

What is Montessori education?

• Based on the educational model created by Maria Montessori, the goal of Montessori education is to foster independent, competent, responsible, adaptive citizens who are lifelong learners and problem solvers.
• Learning occurs in an inquiring, cooperative, nurturing atmosphere.
  Students increase their own knowledge through self- and teacher-initiated experiences.
• Teachers take on the role of guides and children direct their own learning.
• Students learn by manipulating materials and interacting with others. These meaningful experiences are precursors to the abstract understanding of ideas.
• The individual is considered as a whole. Respect and caring attitudes for oneself, others, the environment, and all life are necessary.
