Montessori definition

Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.

What is different about a Montessori school?

Children all develop at different paces, and they have different strengths and interests. While in a traditional education every child in the class must follow one path set out by the teacher, a Montessori education follows the individual child's interests using observation.

What does North Star do differently?

We have multiple  grade classes. The student are able to learn in an environment of challenge and creativity by being around all ages of students.

What are the structure of a Montessori school?

Teachers model respect, loving kindness, and a belief in peaceful conflict resolution. Montessori students enjoy freedom within limits. Working within parameters set by their teachers, students are active participants in deciding what their focus of learning will be.
