“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.”
Maria Montessori
Montessori Education
The Montessori philosophy places an emphasis on individual student choice in learning and a balance between whole class lessons and individual lessons.
Classrooms
You won’t find the customary rows of school desks; children work at tables or on the floor, rolling out mats
Multi-Age
Younger children learn from older children; older children reinforce their learning by teaching concepts they mastered.
Teachers
The Montessori teacher prepares a classroom environment with materials and activities that entice her students to learn.
Materials
Students work with specially designed materials, manipulating and investigating until they master the lesson inside.
Volunteers
We have at least one parent representative in each school to act as liaison between the school and the CMS.
Community
Members address each other respectfully and in modulated tones. There are no raised voices; no rude or hurtful behaviour.

“We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.”
