School Notes
Building on the foundation laid by Maria Montessori, our goals
are:
To provide a safe, nurturing, academically stimulating
environment where exploration and discovery are an everyday
experience,
To offer a staff that is dedicated to inspiring each student to
realize his or her potential,
To foster independence of thought, and a tolerance for the
ideas, beliefs and cultures of other peoples,
To assist in the development of a sense of responsibility and
awareness of the individual and the community,
To give children a joy of learning that will last a lifetime,
and
To work in partnership with parents to create a caring school
community where the child comes first, education is celebrated, and
each student gains the skills and knowledge that will lead to a
productive, creative, satisfying life.
