About the school

The Montessori Method

A scientific method built on the discovered laws of development of the child’s mind and body. The habits it builds — concentration, self-discipline, independence — serve a child for a lifetime.

The years of early childhood demand of a child feats he may never again equal. He learns to walk, to talk, he develops a conscience, memory, and gains knowledge through his own experiences, and lays the foundations of his personality. In these years two-thirds of his intellect is formed.
These are the magical years of life.
