Learning Approach
At Shalom Montessori School, we value both Montessori and traditional learning approaches. By thoughtfully incorporating the strengths of each, we support children in a balanced, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate way.
Our Philosophy
Every child learns differently. Some children thrive through hands-on exploration, self-directed activity, and independent discovery. Others benefit from clear structure, teacher guidance, and group instruction.
At Shalom Montessori School, we recognize the value of both approaches. Our classrooms thoughtfully incorporate Montessori principles as well as traditional learning elements to help children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
Two Valuable Approaches
We believe children benefit from both independence and structure. Each approach offers valuable tools for helping children build confidence, knowledge, and readiness.
Montessori Benefits
Montessori education gives children opportunities to make choices, work with carefully prepared materials, and develop concentration through meaningful activity.
This approach helps children become more independent, responsible, and confident as they learn through hands-on experiences and natural discovery.
Traditional Benefits
Traditional classroom methods provide consistency, teacher guidance, and a clear learning structure that helps children develop listening skills, classroom habits, and readiness for future academic settings.
Group lessons, routine, and step-by-step support can be especially helpful in building participation, confidence, and foundational academic skills.
Our School’s Approach
By offering both Montessori classroom experiences and traditional classroom elements, we create a balanced learning environment that supports the whole child.
What This Means for Children
Our goal is not to force one method over another, but to provide children with the support they need at each stage of development. This balanced approach helps children become confident learners while also preparing them for future classroom success.
Children are encouraged to make choices, solve problems, and develop confidence in their own abilities.
Daily routines and teacher guidance provide consistency, security, and support for learning.
Children learn through movement, materials, and active engagement with their environment.
Balanced instruction helps children build strong foundations for future school success.
