We, at Asheville Montessori School, want to partner with you to give your child the best possible beginning in his or her educational pilgrimage.
We realize the unique challenge that parents face in providing the best possible educational opportunities for their children.
A traditional Montessori education gives children a unique foundation for a lifetime of learning.
What is Montessori?
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870 to 1952), the creator of what is called “The Montessori Method of Education,” was an Italian doctor, philosopher, and educator. She held the distinction of being Italy’s first woman physician.
In her research, Dr. Montessori noted specific characteristics associated with the child’s interests and abilities at each level of development. She posited that a school carefully designed to meet the needs and interests of the child’s would be effective if it were consistent with the basic principles of psychology. Rather than fight the laws of nature; Montessori suggests that we follow the “child,” allowing him to show us how best to foster the development of his human potential.
