Discover the Montessori Difference at The Rockridge Montessori School

These are exercises in perception, observation, fine discrimination, and classification that play a major role in helping our children to develop their sense of logic and concentration.

One of our first goals is to develop in the very young child a strong and realistic sense of independence and self-reliance. Along with love and a stable environment, this is the child’s greatest need.

The process of learning to read and write almost always comes naturally and begins with a child’s first interest. We begin by placing our youngest students in classes in which the older students are already beginning to read. 

We are all members of the human family. Our goal is to develop a global perspective. An introduction to world cultures forms a cornerstone of our curriculum.

Dr. Montessori passed a deep love for the world of nature on to thousands of students through a program of outdoor education and gardening. We see this as the foundation of a lifelong interest in the sciences.

We are all members of the human family. Our roots lie in the distant past and history is the story of our common heritage. Without a strong sense of history, we cannot begin to know who we are as individuals today.
