Before and after school care

An approach to adolescent development to provide them with a sense of who they are while they live, study, and work in a place where their strengths are recognized.

• Adolescents are introduced to the workings of adult society: division of labour, commerce and exchange, discovery and innovation - while still immersed in the beauty of natural surroundings.

They develop:

• confidence for public speaking and making presentations
• learn that work is serious and noble
• discover the importance of disciplined work and study habits
• come to understand their own gifts and interests
• gain both practical and emotional independence
• love to learn.

Develop the love of learning and a strong academic foundation and skills in preparation for the elementary program.

Montessori education takes a whole-child approach and combines strong learning outcomes with the caring and individualized focus and support that growing children need.

Provide children an atmosphere of acceptance and trust where they learn to express themselves in a very individual way by learning to:

• make choices
• take risks
• self-correct own mistakes
• open to different perspectives
• grow their self-confidence
• encourage creativity to flourish.
