Blue Gum Montessori School

The School is committed to educating the children as citizens of the 21st Century. Implementing the Montessori Method of Education, the School offers a prepared Montessori learning environment that fosters the children's innate desire to learn and encourages their independence. The activities and materials are scaffolded in complexity to meet the natural phases of child development, providing critical thought and problem-solving opportunities. The ages of the children in each class span three years, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12, providing many possibilities for developing social skills and self-awareness. Peer coaching and collaborative learning are encouraged and supported in an influential culture of positive education. This framework, together with various academic skills, provides a firm foundation for the children to be motivated individuals and to be able to develop to their full potential.
