We begin with a deep respect for the child as a
unique individual. We work from a deep concern for his or her social
and emotional development, because there is a far more to an education
than mastering facts.
-
Elonera Montessori School is a warm, supportive
community of students, teachers and parents.
-
We consciously teach our students to be kind and
peaceful.
-
Our classrooms are bright and exciting environments
for learning.
-
Here, learning is not focused on rote drill and
memorisation. Our goal is to develop students who really understand
their schoolwork.
-
Our students learn through hands-on experience,
investigation, and research.
-
Our school is consciously designed to recognise and
address different learning styes, helping students learn to study most
effectively.
-
We challenge and set high expectations for all our
students, not only a special few.
-
Our students develop self-discipline and an
internal sense of purpose and motivation. After leaving us, they find
that these values and skills pay off in higher education, and later in
life.
-
Elonera Montessori School is an international
school. Both our curriculum and student body reflect a global
perspective.
-
We instil within our students a love for the
natural world. Ecological studies and outdoor education are an
essential part of everyday student’s life at Elonera Montessori School.
-
Our curriculum is carefully structured and
integrated to demonstrate the connections among the different subject
areas. Every class teaches critical thinking, composition and
research. History lessons link architecture, the arts, science and
technology.
-
Our students become involved in the local community
through work experience and community service programs.
-
We do not only teach facts and skills; we
facilitate learning, and we are each other’s mentors.
-
Our students are not afraid of making mistakes;
they see them as natural steps in the learning process.
-
Our students learn to work together in daily
activities or larger projects. They strive for their personal best,
rather than compete against one another for the highest grade in the
class.
