Welcome to Great Lakes Montessori!

EDUCATIONAL GOALS

The Montessori curriculum varies by program, but the following goals are consistent throughout our school:

• To enter into a partnership with parents in the education of their children

• To encourage the self-motivation and self-discipline that will lead to a life-long pursuit of knowledge

• To lead children to mastery of precisely identified intellectual, social, and physical skills

• To help children develop a positive self-image as the key to the development of their full potential

• To foster open minds, compassion, and respect for others

• To balance self-reliance, independence, and freedom with the skills of working cooperatively

• To instill in each child a sense of duty and personal responsibility for the world in which we live

• To spark our children's imagination, wonder, humor, and joy...
