International
Schools & Colleges offer a full Montessori curriculum based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria
Montessori. She developed an approach to education
aiming to develop each child's unique range of abilities
and talents while simultaneously celebrating the child's
individuality and cultural background. The goal of
Montessori education is the development of autonomous
and competent, caring and empathic, responsive and
responsible individuals who are lifelong learners and
problem solvers.
Children
move at their own pace, repeating activities until a
sense of inner mastery moves them to the next level of
difficulty. Rich arrays of hands-on materials are
provided which engage the child in learning on many
levels.
Our
teachers
work in harmony with parents to give the children the
best possible educational foundation. We nurture their
natural interests and challenge them to discover new
skills and new areas of knowledge, enhancing their
development in five major areas.
1)
Expressive and Communal
2) Rational 3) Physical
4)
Public Responsibility
and Behavior
5)
Guidance of Young Children.
Our goal is to help children acquire the self-discipline
that is essential to the acquisition of independent work
and study habits.
Teachers foster self-esteem by expressing
respect and acceptance for children, regardless of their
behavior. They are alert to undue signs of stress and
respond quickly and directly to children's needs,
adapting their responses to differing styles and
abilities. They recognize that children learn from trial
and error that children's misconceptions reflect their
developing thoughts.
