Beach Park School

The Montessori method nurtures a child’s love of learning while teaching the importance of respect an ability to work with others and a strong sense of independence. Montessori teachers are trained to model these positive values as well as teach them.

At Beach Park School our educators recognize that different children learn in different ways and guide them in their studies accordingly. They allow children to select their own learning activities. In the elementary and middle school classes they work within a prearranged work plan developed between teacher and student. Montessori students work in mixed-aged classrooms and as they grow in their skills the teacher’s role is to guide them in their learning. They can go at their own pace and grow in their own ways learning through direct experience investigation and discovery. Because Montessori programs are based on self-directed and noncompetitive activities children develop strong self-esteem and the lifelong confidence to face both challenge and change with optimism.

The Montessori classroom is purposefully organized to create a logical sense of order for the child. Everything has a place. The educational program is just as well organized systematic and carefully sequenced based on principles of development. Every activity is designed to build upon new learning and skills that have been acquired.

We find that Beach Park School students take great care to maintain the peace and order of the class. Our child-centered approach creates a deep sense of community.
