The Alcuin Montessori Curriculum

The essence of Dr. Maria Montessori’s method is to allow for the development of natural human tendencies and to help children as they adapt to their culture.  The curriculum is grounded in the universal laws of human development that include movement, language, order, adaptation, work, self-discipline, exploration, self-perfection, abstract thinking, imagination and creativity.  A goal of the Montessori program is to help children think for themselves and to be actively involved in their own education.  This is one distinction between a Montessori program and many conventional school programs.  The Montessori environment is filled with beautiful and enticing age-appropriate materials.
