Montessori children are unusually adaptable. They have learned to work independently and in groups. Since they\u00a0have\u00a0been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make appropriate choices and manage their time well; they have been encouraged to exchange ideas and discuss their work freely with others. Their good communication skills ease the way when they move on to new academic settings.<\/div>\n

Research has shown that the best predictor of future success is high self-esteem. Our Montessori program, based on self-directed, non-competitive activities, help children develop strong self-images and the confidence to face challenges and change with optimism.<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Learn more about Montessori…<\/em><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\nSet Up For Success<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”5270″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”medium” css_animation=”right-to-left” el_class=”aboutImage”][vc_column_text css_animation=”right-to-left”]\n

A Letter to Our Prospective Parents<\/em><\/h2>\n
Dear Prospective Montessori Parents,<\/p>\n
Thank you for your interest in Statesville Montessori School.\u00a0 Many people know Montessori as an education philosophy.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
Admission to the preschool or elementary\/middle school program does not depend on a child\u2019s having had previous Montessori training.\u00a0 In the school\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s House or the Montessori Elementary\/Middle School.\u00a0 Please call to request more information concerning enrollment or arranging a time to visit either campus.<\/p>\n
Sincerely,<\/p>\n
Stacey S. Crosswhite<\/p>\n
