BASIC EDUCATION

Experience the Montessori Advantage at St. Thomas More Montessori School!

At St. Thomas More Montessori School, we embrace the Montessori method of education—a philosophy centered on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. In our Montessori classrooms, children make choices in their learning, supported by a prepared environment and highly trained directresses who guide age-appropriate activities.

Each material in the Montessori environment, carefully designed by Dr. Maria Montessori and her associates, nurtures a child’s natural curiosity and development. This allows children to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace, fostering independence and confidence.

CASA dei Bambini: A Foundation for Lifelong Learning

Our CASA dei Bambini classroom, or “House of Children,” is a thoughtfully prepared, child-sized environment where children aged 3 to 5 thrive. This program focuses on five essential areas of learning:

  • Language: Developing communication skills and literacy.
  • Mathematics: Exploring foundational numerical concepts.
  • Cultural Arts: Nurturing creativity and cultural appreciation.
  • Practical Life: Building independence through real-world tasks.
  • Sensorial Exercises: Refining sensory perception and cognitive skills.

By engaging in these areas, children gain confidence, build social skills, and develop a love for learning.

Our Elementary Program is designed to cultivate intellectual curiosity and holistic development through immersive, hands-on learning experiences:

Language
Students explore the wonders of literacy and self-expression in a language-rich environment. With beautifully crafted materials, they enhance their reading, writing, and verbal communication skills.

Mathematics and Geometry
Through interactive and autocorrective materials, students grasp complex concepts in numbers, patterns, shapes, and operations, transitioning seamlessly from concrete to abstract understanding.

Science and Geography
Young learners become explorers, conducting hands-on experiments, investigating scientific phenomena, and delving into the diverse landscapes of our planet. Using interactive maps and materials, they develop a global perspective, learning about cultures, climates, and the interconnectedness of the world.

Practical Life Skills
Practical life lessons are at the heart of the Montessori philosophy. Children gain independence and responsibility through purposeful activities that enhance self-care and life skills, preparing them for real-world challenges.
