"Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist; it should furnish you with an original spirit with which to tackle the big challenges; it should allow you to find values which will be your roadmap through life; it should make you spiritually rich, a person who loves whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whomever you are with; it should teach you what is important, how to live and how to die.” John Gatto
"Play is the highest form of research."
~ Albert Einstein
Math/Science Program (Tues/Thurs)
Our Math program is a beautiful combination of Montessori and Waldorf learning concepts. Montessori math manipulatives will be introduced to learn various math concepts. Depending on the child's level, the Montessori K-3 curriculum includes number recognition, decimal system, geometry, four operations of math: addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. Waldorf's beautiful math fairy tales and art projects help children create and solve their own word problems, building a strong foundation for future Algebra concepts.
Woodworking and Math: The children enjoy monthly woodworking projects including projects they design on their own. Woodworking allows the children to apply their math skills in a creative way.
Math Games: The children learn a variety of fun games to further develop their math skills. Games include: checkers, chess, backgammon, monopoly, chutes and ladders, mancala, cooperative yoga board games, Sleeping Queens etc.
