MONTESSORI EXPANSION IN NORWOOD

TERESE BOOTH, PRINCIPAL

As the 2022-2023 school year begins to wind down, it is with great pleasure to know that we have had a very successful first year of expanding Montessori education in our school district. This school year, we expanded our school from a Preschool only enrollment to include Kindergarten and First Grade.  It has been amazing to watch all of our students grow, progress, and express themselves.

Our 2023-2024 expansion plan includes Preschool through 2nd Grade followed by an additional grade level each school year. Our long-term plan is to expand our Montessori School to Preschool through 5th Grade by the school year of 2026-2027.

KEY COMPONENTS OF MONTESSORI CLASSROOMS

Montessori classrooms include credentialed staff, multi-age students, hands on materials, choice, and self-pacing. Learning materials and the classroom environment have been carefully designed and prepared to foster a child’s curiosity and natural desire to learn.
