Why choose a Montessori school
“One would like to know in few and clear words what is the Montessori Method. If not only the name but also the common concept of ‘method’ were to be abandoned to use another indication, if we were to talk about a ‘help so that human personality could conquer its independence, of a tool to free it from the oppression of old prejudices on education’, everything would be clearer.
It is the human personality and not an educational method that must be considered: it is the child’s defence, the scientific recognition of their nature, the social proclamation of their rights which must replace the fragmented ways on conceiving education…”
(M. Montessori, Formazione dell’uomo, p.11)
A continuous journey
The peculiarity of the Montessori International Center is the continuous path it offers.
Today the majority of Montessori-inspired schools are aimed at children from zero to five years old, but then the educational offer stops and remains incomplete.
Our institute, however, is able to welcome a child of just a few months and accompany him by the hand until he reaches adulthood, offering an educational continuum on which the student can rely.
As Talita De Almeida, founder of one of the most important Montessori’s associations in the world, explains: “The child educated in the Montessori way has an approach to the world, to himself and to school that is difficult to reconcile with the traditional scholastic method. This is why the M. Montessori International Centre in via Fonti Coperte must be an example.” For this reason we believe it is extremely important to offer the student a coherent educational project, only in this way will the child be able to benefit as best as possible from the Montessori proposal and bring out its full potential.
In fact, within the school, in addition to the classic teaching subjects, transmitted not as distinct disciplines but as a single knowledge, the student will also have the opportunity to test himself and to range from music to figurative art, from photography to sport. and applied sciences, in a training offer that is much more varied and complete than that of a traditional school.
