Maria Montessori herself continued to evolve her methods throughout her lifetime, incorporating new ideas and approaches as they emerged, why not continue? We have added modern teaching methods and materials to her approach in order to meet the needs of today’s 21st century children. Maria Montessori had classes of 25-40 kids. We have reduced the size to 5/6 per guide/teacher, which allows us to know our students better and consequently optimize our teaching by adding more techniques, curriculums and lessons that wouldn't be possible in a setting with more students. We are definItely not a regular Montessori environment, we are more than that. We are also following the New York City curriculum and the chosen language national curriculum as well. Our educators supplement traditional Montessori materials and hands-on activities placing a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary learning and project/theme based learning, allowing children to explore topics in depth and make connections across disciplines. Children that are knowledgeable have explored relevant and significant concepts and can remember what they have learned or seen.We have different themes every 1 to 2 weeks (for example: Volcanoes and Landforms, From caterpillar to Butterfly, Lifecycle of a Plant, Five Senses, Weather Study, The Human Body, etc. Our students are exploring with their hands, ears, eyes, nose, taste and even voice.

Hello, I am Genevieve, I m native french, I have been teaching french in the USA for 15 years, I have experienced International, Academic, Montessori schools and private teaching. When my son Matteo was born, I started asking myself what kind of perfect education I wanted my precious one to grow into...from my experience there is no perfection, the number of kids in a classroom being the factor number one in failure unless you have the attention of the teacher constantly, why small groups of 3 or 5 max is being a great point
