OUR MISSION
At North Oaks Montessori, our mission is to inspire academic excellence and nurture curiosity, creativity, and imagination. The Montessori philosophy encourages children to be independent responsible and self-motivated.
Often, in even the best of traditional education thinking, the student is viewed as a passive object. We believe instead that the most profound learning takes place when the process of education is linked to the experiences, interests, and capabilities of the individual student.
If students are encouraged to use their interests as the key to engaged involvement with the subject matter, they work ambitiously, take greater responsibility for their endeavors, care deeply about their studies, and can remember and apply what they have learned. We work with each student to develop an individual educational experience.
North Oaks Montessori's objective is to offer an academic program to our community that encourages children to learn at their own pace and enjoy learning and to offer our community an affordable, quality choice in education and childcare for their children. While our program fosters academic achievement, the atmosphere minimizes stress and competition and accentuates each child's strengths and successes.
