Mixed-Age Classrooms Boost Leadership Skills
Authentic Montessori schools group classes with a 3-year age span, so your child benefits from unique social development. Younger classmates look up to their elders, and older children develop responsibility as proud role modeling. Everyone has something to contribute.
Child-Led, Immersive Learning Leads To Independence
The Montessori philosophy centers the child and empowers them to choose their daily activities according to their interests. This world-renowned Montessori education method gives your child time and space to concentrate and develop at their own pace, for unique benefits:
- 3-hour work cycles allow your child to immerse in their chosen activity so they can focus, problem-solve and master each task.
- Progressive works are activities that guide your child from concrete to abstract concepts for 360-degree understanding.
- The 5 key areas of Montessori learning—Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture—set your child up for success in life.
Unique Montessori Materials Support Problem-Solving Skills
Scientifically proven, authentic Montessori materials—like Bead Chains, The Pink Tower, and Tone Bars—are an essential part of Montessori education. Your child teaches themself through trial and error, learning to think critically and apply different strategies until they master the activity, ready for the next one.
Social-Emotional Learning Prepares Them For Life
At Montessori Academy of Jackson, we use the Montessori Method to emphasize social-emotional learning to develop your child’s crucial executive functioning, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills in age-appropriate and highly effective ways:
- Grace & Courtesy—the Montessori kindness curriculum—equips your child with poise and manners to navigate the world.
- The Peace Corner is a dedicated space for your child and their friends to work out their differences and build conflict-resolution skills.
- Mindfulness practices like meditation give your child the tools to identify and regulate their emotions.
- Practical Life Skills like dressing, tidying their space, and serving food are part of your child’s everyday routine to build their autonomy and sense of responsibility.
