Problem Solving Skills

SpringStone Montessori prepares students for life:
Our goal is to inspire a passion for excellence and a lifelong love of learning. We balance academic excellence with personal and practical life skills, and decision making. We create an environment within the classroom that encourages children's curiosity and innate desire to learn. Each classroom has materials that can be explored individually, with other students, or in individual or small group intstruction; all foster quality learning experiences.
Our goal is for students to be open-minded and compassionate, to understand the diversity of the human spirit. We encourage children to participate in day-to-day classroom management, and care of the environment. We seek to help each child to feel a commitment both to the local and the global community. We respect human needs, rights, and dignity, no matter how young the individual. We model kindness, honesty, respect for uniqueness, tolerance, cooperation, good sportsmanship, and nonviolence. We deliberately teach and encourage anti-bias at every age level in an age-appropriate way. We seek to gather together a truly diverse multi-cultural and international community of students, faculty, and staff. We teach a global perspective as a philosophy for building a diverse community, and accepting all people.
