Montessori Schools are educational institutions that follow the teaching philosophy developed by Maria Montessori. This approach emphasizes self-directed learning, hands-on activities, and collaborative play. Montessori Schools typically serve children from infancy through adolescence, with a focus on individualized learning and development. The curriculum is designed to promote creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on practical life skills and cultural awareness. Montessori Schools often have mixed-age classrooms, where children can learn from and with each other, and teachers act as guides rather than lecturers.
