Orlando / Florida / United States
At Montessori World School, located in Orlando, FL, every child is actively involved in the learning process. Our teachers guide, listen and encourage, providing information at a pace that is responsive to the individual childs readiness to learn. They allow and promote self-discovery. Children respond through active participation and cooperation. Students increase their own knowledge through self and teacher initiated experiences. Our classroom is democratic. Rules for behavior are shared, classroom policies and procedures are explained and discussed. Our children follow these procedures to the degree that their developing intellects allow, with a sense of self-discipline and initiative that often seems remarkable to a parent unfamiliar with our education. A single class, most with mixed age groups, may contain children working on a wide range of skill levels. We begin with a deep respect for children as unique individuals, and they work from a deep concern for childrens social and emotional development. A core concept of our education is to encourage children to become independent thinkers. Each learning experience leads to new skill levels, the mastery of academic knowledge, and most importantly, to a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.
