San Diego, United States (IBwire.com - November 03, 2009) The Montessori Arts and Sciences School San Diego is committed to giving each of its students a head start in life. The school follows the principles set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori who believed that hands on activities lead to comprehending abstract concepts and that by participating the student becomes more confident, self-reliant, organized and reaches out for new knowledge and skills. Students are often accepted into accelerated programs once they reach public school because of their advanced knowledge and learning skills that they have acquired while attending Montessori. The school has and maintains a twelve to one ratio of teacher to student so that the child can benefit from small group and one on one interaction. The student is well ahead of the class once they reach elementary school and tend to get much better grades and learn new things much easier. Many students have attended the school and gone on to receive degrees and to be top professionals in their community.
The basic approach of Montessori Arts and Sciences School is based on four basic concepts as provided by the International Montessori Council. They are first to cultivate within the students a passion for excellence. Second to develop a set of strong universal values that include honesty, respect for others, self respect, responsibility, integrity, empathy compassion, kindness, peacefulness, a sense of concern for others, warmth and love of community. Third to develop a global perspective and sense of International understanding, and fourth to cultivate in students a lifelong commitment to helping others in need.
The school believes that a positive atmosphere creates a great learning environment and that through hands on activities a child can develop such things as good decision making, self discipline, respect for others, inspiration, stability in the learning environment and many more benefits that will last them a lifetime. By having small teacher to student ratios at the school the student is able to learn quicker and more easily than they would otherwise in a large classroom. The school has been helping kids since 1983 and continues to improve upon itself year after year.
