Dear Prospective Montessori Parents,
Thank
you for your interest in Statesville Montessori School. Many people know Montessori
as an education philosophy. But in reality, Montessori is a method of education that
leads to self-confident, independent, and self-disciplined children who acquire a sound
background for academic and creative skills and interest.
Admission
to the preschool or elementary/middle school program does not depend on a child's having
had previous Montessori training. In the school's experience, students who enter
after having attended more traditional schools adapt quickly to the small classes, the
individual attention, the freedom to progress, and the intellectual stimulation.
Students
who re-enter traditional programs after having spent time in a Montessori school tend to
be at an academic advantage in terms of the extent and quality of their learning, and of
their heightened self-motivation and self-discipline.
If
you have a child from two and one-half to thirteen years of age, we have a place for
him/her at the Montessori Children's House or the Montessori Elementary/Middle
School. Please call to request more information concerning enrollment or arranging a
time to visit either campus.
Sincerely,
Stacey S. Crosswhite
