John E. Ford PreK-8 English/Spanish Montessori provides an internationally recognized Montessori program from age three through eighth grade. Teachers are trained in Montessori methodology, classrooms are multi-age, and students are encouraged to explore their own interests independently using Montessori materials.
As students grow, they mentor and teach younger students. In this framework students gain a deeper level of understanding while also growing their skills in patience, responsibility, and leadership. Students working to master a skill learn from other students, not just the teacher.
A Montessori school is a complete reimagining of what school can be. Classes are fully interactive with children learning in ways that excite them. The learning experience is fully customized around each child and is based on individual ability and interest.
Our approach has been proven to inspire creativity, instill self-discipline, and supports students in reaching their academic and social potential. In our classrooms, teachers serve as guides who help students ask the right questions and find answers for themselves through hands-on learning. Through this approach students learn more and experience more joy, while learning.
The primary goal of a Montessori program is to help each child reach their full potential in all areas of life.
