THE PE MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Our Mission is to prepare our children for the future. Our Aim is to foster an attitude of learning to love to learn. The Montessori Approach is a philosophy of education with the fundamental belief that a child learns best within a social environment that supports each individual’s unique development. Montessori Education is an educational system based on profound respect for the child’s personality, helping him grow in all areas of his development. The Montessori Approach differs from other educational approaches because it is based on the principle of freedom within a carefully prepared environment suitable to the nature of the child. The role of the teacher is also a differing point. In the Montessori classroom the teacher is known as a “directress” - she guides, directs and observes the child and one of her main functions is to prepare the environment for the child.
