Villa di Maria Montessori School

Villa di Maria has two Primary Classes. Children are
introduced to a wide variety of activities and material
to assist in the total development of the child, which
cultivates his own desire to learn. Lessons are
reinforced by our 6 acre wooded campus.

Students are allowed to work at their own pace and
to make choices in a noncompetitive atmosphere.
Maintaining the same directress and environment for
three years nurtures security, builds confidence, and
provides a framework in which intellectual and social
discipline go hand in hand.

Children age 2 ½ -4 participate in a half-day
academic program with an option for supplemental
care. Children near the age of 5 participate in a
full-day academic program.

The Elementary class is a 6-12 environment. A variety of
lessons are introduced while allowing the curriculum to be
defined by the student in conjunction with the director.
The lessons are designed to stimulate the developing brain
of the school aged child. Use of imagination and creative
expression are encouraged. Time management and social
skills are developed, while nurturing a lifelong love of
learning.

The curriculum encompasses the traditional subjects of
reading, writing, math, science and history. Additional
subjects taught are music, art, drama, Spanish and Latin.
Our campus is used for study, physical education, and
inspiration. These elements provide the student with
outlets for intellectual and social growth. An overnight,
trips into the larger community, and projects enhance
studies.
