About this organization
Mission
The mission of Desert Montessori School is to combine the Montessori approach with innovative teaching practices. We provide a purposeful, engaging education that inspires love of learning, fosters independent thinking, social responsibility and self-confidence.
About
Desert Montessori is a modified Montessori School. We integrate the Montessori philosophy with research-based educational practices. Our students are active participants in academically rigorous classrooms. We honor individual learning styles while preparing students for future success.Our program is based upon Montessori principles and values. Teachers thoughtfully prepare engaging environments and guide children to learn at their own pace to reach their individual potential. We use sequences of progressively challenging work, which allows children to build independence, leading to a strong sense of joy, security and accomplishment. The materials and lessons are designed to lead a child from the simple to the complex, from concrete to abstract concepts. Our classrooms cultivate an atmosphere of peace, respect and collaboration throughout our community. Finally, outdoor experiences and opportunities for service instill a love of nature and social responsibility as children begin to question and integrate their purpose and place within the family, school and broader community.
