Does Montessori suit all children?
Montessori education is founded on a belief in the development potential of each individual but our system of education may not suit all parents. A positive learning experience requires that the parents and the school share a common view on the purpose of education. This common view creates the supportive triangle when parents, directress and child are all working together for the benefit of the child. Parents have to observe a classroom and be interviewed before a place can be offered. Northside Montessori also offers a series of parent evenings during the school year where parents can learn more about aspects of our curriculum and the latest educational theories and how they are incorporated within the curriculum. Prospective parents are welcome to attend these evenings to learn more about Montessori and the school. Parents are also encouraged to observe their children working within the school environment.
