An Authentic Experience

Dr. Maria Montessori recognized that “the most important period of life’s learning is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to age six.”

Our Montessori School is CCAM accredited, upholding the highest standards of an authentic Montessori education. Our classroom teachers at HSC hold recognized Montessori teaching certificates from accredited training programs and provide the dynamic link between the prepared environment and the children.

Their primary role is to direct the natural curiosity and joy in each child and to provide a program that will meet the individual needs of each one. This is achieved by the keen observation, knowledge of different learning styles, guidance and empathy, which comes from training and experience.

The HSC Montessori School is an integral part of the HSC community, which affords our students opportunities to continue on an educational path that supports the Montessori principles.

  a morning or afternoon program with the choice of joining our
  extended program for the other part of the day.

  consolidate earlier concepts and skills with further challenges
  being introduced.
  
  
• The opportunity to continue on in the Montessori Elementary

  supported through facilities and resources such as a dedicated
  Elementary Library, gymnasium, recess areas and athletic fields,

  and the Internet in each classroom.
