What is Montessori?

Montessori Education is based on the work of Italian physician, Dr. Maria Montessori, whose scientific observation in the first half of the twentieth century gave birth to an innovative educational system that has grown worldwide. Dr. Montessori developed a philosophy based on the natural development of the child and her intrinsic desire to explore, discover and learn from the world around her.

The fundamental tenet is that a child flourishes in a warm nurturing environment which supports each individual’s unique development.

Maria Montessori was among many things, a devout Christian. It is upon this spirit that Grace Montessori Academy is built.
