“The child can only develop fully by means of experience in his environment.
We call such experience work.

‑ Maria Montessori

 
 

Montessori education recognizes that children learn in different ways, and accommodates all learning styles. Students are also free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum as he or she is ready, guided by the teacher and an individualized learning plan.

 
 

Our Mission

Meher Montessori Schools educate children using the authentic Montessori approach—a multi-sensory curriculum that allows for individualized teaching and for students to learn and be challenged at their own pace as they develop. We are a community that fosters self-confidence, leadership, and respect for self and others; students are encouraged to grow as self-motivated, intellectually engaged learners who will serve their larger communities as both accomplished students and ambassadors of peace.

“All that we ourselves are has been made by the child, by the child we were in the first two years of our lives.”

− Maria Montessori

 

Primary

Children of mixed ages (2½–6) are in each classroom. Each child is free to learn at his own level, pace and degree of interest. Younger and older children learn from each other. Each one is both a student and a teacher. Each classroom has a complete set of specialized Montessori teaching materials. Each of the materials has a specific skill to develop, quality to demonstrate or fact to reveal. Children are very active learners in such a strong and exciting learning atmosphere.

“Education between the ages of 6 to 12 is not a direct continuation of that which has gone before ...this a period for the acquisition of culture...”

− Maria Montessori

 
 
 

Elementary

The elementary program continues the development of the child through age 12. The child will now use his basic reading and writing skills to research and explore all areas of Science, Language, Math, History, Geography, Music & Art, and will greatly expand his study of Mathematics.
