THE SYSTEM

The Montessori education system leads the child and the group to a condition of physical and emotional equilibrium, creating active, dynamic and free kids, concerned and conscientious of their roles in society..

PHILOSOPHICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPLES

The philosophical and pedagogical principles of the Montessori Method are based on the emphasis on self-construction and individuality. The approach is characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for the child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.

MONTESSORI LINE

The Montessori line is, in inside the system, a “normalization” element. Normalization arises from concentration and focus on activity which serves the child’s developmental needs and is characterized by the ability to concentrate, socialize, use the hands, and produce rhythm. It is believed that those exercises give rise to the mental and physical equilibrium of the child.

CLASSROOMS

In all the classrooms, each and every student receives personalized education, in harmony with one’s own needs, rhythm, growth and maturity. To do so, the classrooms are equipped with the appropriate material; they also have a reduced number of students; and, therefore, promote self-construction.

MATERIAL AND ENVIRONMENT

Dr. Montessori created specific material to each and every period of development. Those materials allow the child’s harmonious and natural development. In the Montessori system nothing is taught to a child if they can learn by themselves. That is why Pater Hominis School is equipped with material that guarantees the development of abilities, self-knowledge, and personal growth. The school lets the child responsibly conquer independence and freedom.

THE TEACHER

The teacher plays the role of the observer. His function is to observe attentively and detect the necessities of infants as well as propose solutions, indicate ways, offer safety, and protection, emphasizing the positive results.
