There is little chance of a child feeling bored when they are actively encouraged to choose activities that interest them.
A common misconception is that Montessori schools are all bongos and basket weaving. A completely unstructured environment where kids run wild. The reality is that Montessori schools work to the curriculum in a unique and highly effective manner, providing a bespoke educational experience tailored specifically to each child’s individual needs. This strong academic focus ultimately delivers results that can often outperform mainstream schools.
In a Montessori classroom your child is part of an academic program with unparalled one-on-one time with expertly trained educators. There is little chance of a child feeling bored when they are actively encouraged to choose activities that interest them. When they lose interest, they simply choose another activity. And there is no limit to how deeply a subject or an idea can be explored. A child will not be interrupted to learn spelling when they are in the middle of a maths puzzle. Focus and concentration come naturally. Every achievement is valued and recorded but not in a way to make a child feel self-conscious, or different, or even aware that they are advancing beyond the norm.
When children are given the freedom to follow their instincts and explore their interests they can’t help but learn.
I’ll never forget one morning in Leo’s first weeks, looking through the window on my way out, I watched as the older girls in the class put their arms around my little boy, took him in, and looked after him. He had a smile on his face in moments. That was when I realised that he was getting more than just an education.
No other education captures the passion and sheer joy for learning the way a Montessori education does. Give your child the best start in life – at Cameragal Montessori School.
