Montessori Children’s House of Nantucket is the only Montessori school on the island. Their method of education centers on scientific observations of children from when they are born to when they are fully mature. Based on their findings, they believe that nurturing each child’s natural desire for knowledge and upholding understanding and respect goes a long way in fostering rigorous, self-motivated growth in all aspects – physically, socially, and mentally. The teaching method has been tested and recorded tremendous success for over a century worldwide.
The school’s curriculum includes practical life, sensorial, geography/cultural studies, math, art, language, and science. Away from class, children get to move freely within the school compound, exploring and discovering.
To gauge whether Montessori Children’s House of Nantucket is a great fit for your child, you can schedule a guided observation tour during a school day. This will enable you to see the school building and its facilities, talk to the staff and observe the children’s conduct.
