There are a number of unique aspects to the Montessori classroom environment and philosophy.
First and perhaps the most obvious difference from traditional education is that children are grouped in three-year age brackets. Each of MCHS three classrooms has children between the ages of 3 and 6 in the room together. The grouped ages involve the younger students in many levels of activities and allows them to watch their older classmates working on the more complex lessons a strong motivational tool. The older students evolve into leaders and teachers in the classroom building confidence and reinforcing their old lessons as they help their younger classmates.
Another distinctive aspect to the Montessori approach is respect for each childs individuality. Children primarily receive new lessons from the guide on classroom materials on a one-on-one basis or in small groups allowing each child to progress at his own rate.
