Montessori at LMS

"Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core." - Maria Montessori

Montessori at LMS is based on these beliefs:

Children are naturally eager to learn

Children deserve respect as well as guidance. Freedom within an ordered environment encourages them to be independent and resourceful.

All aspects of a child need nurturance: physical, social, emotional and cognitive

Peer learning in multiage classrooms fosters strong interpersonal skills

Uninterrupted work time allows focused learning – individual and collaborative
