Whole Earth Montessori School

Whole Earth Montessori School is a unique educational institution that follows the Montessori method, fostering intrinsic motivation, curiosity, and a love of learning in every child. The school's educational approach is characterized by mixed-aged classrooms, which promote social and emotional skills, academic confidence, and a sense of community, as older children act as teachers to younger ones, and all children have input in establishing classroom rules. The school offers programs for early childhood (ages 3-6) and elementary grades (1-4), with small class sizes, low student-teacher ratios, and a focus on independence, self-motivation, and individualized instruction. Key features of the school include introduction to practical life skills, specialist instruction in areas such as art, gardening, and music, and an emphasis on building a community within the classroom, with consistency and routine being essential to the learning process.
