A Montessori Curriculum
The Montessori approach to education gives children the freedom to explore and develop to their fullest potential while working with didactic materials, in groups and independently, within a prepared environment. RiverRun provides thoughtfully prepared environments designed to support the students' development of independence and empowerment. Carefully guided as appropriate by the directress, students choose their own works based on their curiosity, imagination, and level of intellect. As a result, students become active, self-directed learners, independent thinkers, and self-confident decision-makers.
Multi-age classrooms allow younger children to learn from older children, while the elders gain experience as mentors. Students work research-style, either independently or in small groups. They move from the concrete to the abstract, motivated by their own interests, efforts, and experiences as they learn about geography, history, language, mathematics, science, music, art, and everyday living.
