In Japan, It Happens Every Day.

Welcome to Culture Shock…Imagine packing your elementary school student off from home near 4S Ranch with a box lunch and a mass transit pass five days a week—alone without parents, nannies, guardians, or a device with GPS.

 Managing children's screen time is becoming increasingly tricky as technology options grow. At one time, TV ruled—and there were far fewer networks and media options. Today, kids have smartphones, tablets, laptops, electronic games, and many age-appropriate but inappropriate TV programs.

The biggest difference between our Montessori school and a traditional elementary school is this: we focus on teaching your child with a ‘learn at your own speed’ approach without regard to grades and test scores. 

Education is about expanding children’s knowledge and understanding of the world. Our goal is to guide each student in an individualized way among peers to foster enlightenment and understanding. Our Montessori Method develops your child’s independence so they can monitor and manage their world themselves.

Dr. Montessori tells us that freedom is essential to a child's development. It makes it possible for a child to realize him or herself.
 
Freedom does not mean a license. Instead, it is gradually aligned with the concept of responsibility and granted to a child in the Montessori classroom as the child shows them they can handle it. The adult helps the child exercise their reason and will in this process.
 
It is a fact that if we are given freedom, we can choose for good or choose for bad.

There are many ways that Montessori elementary education differs from traditional Education.  Montessori education is individualized, self-paced, and interdisciplinary.  The children are encouraged to be independent, reasoning, and self-motivated people.  But why are our classrooms run this way?

Some parents have asked me in the past if any form of practical life exercises exist in Montessori elementary.  They don't see the prepared and color-coordinated exercises they so admired in the primary classroom.  I tell them that practical life is not gone, just transformed.
