Maria Montessori:
"Here is an essential principle of education: to teach details is to bring confusion; to establish the relationship between things is to bring knowledge."
Our Programs
In all classrooms, an individualized pace and freedom of choice are balanced with responsibility, allowing children to repeat and perfect concepts, and move on to new ones, without being isolated from their peers. Multi-age classrooms allow children to learn from and to mentor other students, an essential principle of Montessori education. Teachers act as “guides,” linking together all areas of study and directing students’ focus toward learning necessary skills. We provide Primary and Elementary programs at LifeSong.
Admissions
LifeSong Montessori accepts children without regard to race, color, religion, gender or disability, provided that the school can meet the needs of the child.
