“An education capable of saving humanity
is no small undertaking;
it involves the spiritual development of man,
the enhancement of his value as an individual
and the preparation of young people to understand
the times in which they live.” -Dr. Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori was a visionary whose remarkably perceptive and scientific observations of children led her to a new understanding of the role and purpose of education. She proceeded to develop a classroom method that was innovative a hundred years ago, and remains innovative today. The method is rooted in human development, driven by observation, inspired by science, and based on timeless and universal human tendencies.
Schools across the country are searching for better ways to educate children. Many would say our education system is in a crisis, particularly in urban communities. The challenges of educating all children seem daunting, yet a Montessori education has been demonstrated to be remarkably effective, tested through time, and supported by scientific and educational research studies.
