Grace Montessori Academy is dedicated to helping children
“grow in wisdom and stature before God and men.”
The unique cycle of learning provided at Grace Montessori
Academy is designed to take
advantage of the child’s sensitive periods that occur between
the ages of three-six and six-nine when s/he can absorb
information and profound life understandings from a specifically
ordered and enriched environment. Grace Montessori Academy
creates a Christian, nurturing atmosphere where each child is
treated with sensitivity, honesty and respect.
In the early childhood class, the children learn to take
responsibility of themselves and for each other. They learn to
get along with children of different ages and abilities, to
respect each other’s work and work space, and to treat each
other with courtesy. The classroom becomes a thriving community
where children are treated with respect and dignity and want to
treat others with the same respect and dignity.
The elementary-aged child is in a period of heightened social
development, so s/he needs group experiences. Multi-aged
groupings mean more small-group options relative to ability and
interest. These children are also extremely curious about the
world around them and mechanics of how things work.
