In the early
1900's Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy's first woman physician,
studied children in all conditions throughout the world and
discovered universal principles underlying their development:
- Children possess a natural desire to learn and have the
ability to absorb all aspects of their culture and civilization
without effort or fatigue.
- If given the freedom to explore and make choices, children
will be self-motivated to learn. This desire to learn through
self-discovery will continue through their lifetime.
Her lifetime of research and work
with children grew into what is called the Montessori method.
We at Montessori in Redlands have been entrusted with the responsibility
to further the vision of Dr. Maria Montessori in our practice
of educating students.MIR offers a highly integrated approach
to education. Students look at subject matter from a variety
of perspectives, fostering learning in multiple subject areas
during a single course of study. A core curriculum of math,
language, science, age appropriate technology and culture are
presented to students grouped in multi-year developmental learning "cycles." The
Montessori materials, carefully designed to lead to discovery,
are presented to students one-on-one or in small groups,
allowing for much individual attention.
