What is Montessori
Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
How Montessori Works
Montessori classrooms help students make creative choices in their learning. In the classroom, a highly trained educator offers age-appropriate activities that help guide the students through the process. The students work in groups and individually to explore and discover knowledge of the world in order to help develop their maximum potential.
Tuskawilla Montessori proudly continues to inspire students with excellence and is accredited by both the American Association of Independent Schools (AISF) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS)
Core Components of Montessori Education
A properly credentialed Montessori teacher has the skills and expertise to implement high-fidelity Montessori.
Classes with 3-year age spans facilitate mentorship among the students and encourage leadership development.
A hallmark of Montessori is specially designed materials that provide a hands-on approach to learning.
Students are given agency to self-select work, leading to intrinsic motivation and sustained attention.
An extended period of “free choice” enables students to work at their own pace and without interruption.
