Montessori education offers a unique experience designed to help your child maximize the child’s potential; an educational environment that is purposefully designed to meet his/her unique developmental needs and adults who are specifically trained to observe and put the child in touch with exactly what he/she needs at that very moment to learn.
A school is a group of people who come together with a common purpose; education is the experience that your child has with these people. At AMI, we work diligently to provide a positive and formative experience that will serve the child now and for the rest of his/her life.
The conventional educational system was designed during the industrial revolution, when the masses moved into urban areas to work in factories.
They created an effective method of training the following generations of factory workers. Children were instructed to memorize and regurgitate facts- to stop working when the bell rings-to sit in nice, neat rows of desks and ask for permission to move. It is no longer relevant in our modern culture.
Today, successful people work on projects, not factory lines. They are rewarded for creating things rather than following orders. And, they are expected to adapt quickly to change within profession, rather than working at the same job for 50 years. As we peek into the uncertain future of the 21st century, AMI Montessori programs offer a safe harbor for parents: a research-based method that has been proved to develop some of the brightest minds of our times and is well positioned to develop the movers and shakers of tomorrow.
At its core, it simply is a way of being with children that allows each child to develop fully into the person he was destined to be. Just as you make every effort to ensure that your home is loving and safe, so that your child feels secure and well adjusted, we work diligently to ensure that the physical environment, the teachers and the student community will meet your child’s needs with respect and support at each step is his educational journey.
Instead of expecting that he pay attention to the teacher in front of a class of 30 children, it is the Montessori teacher who pays close attention to your child which fosters a trusting relationship, an education partnership of sorts, in which he will have faith that his teacher truly understands and respects him for the human being into which he is transforming.
Our world doesn’t need more test takers, memorizers or followers.
Now, more than ever, we need critical thinkers, entrepreneurs and do-ers. Montessori education prepares children to take on the future with confidence and zeal, propelled by the gift of self-knowledge and lifelong passion for learning.
This is the education for our rapidly changing world.
This is the education for the future
This is education as a key to life.
