What kind of school is Beacon Montessori?

What is Montessori education?
Montessori is a child-centered approach that supports independence, concentration, confidence, and a genuine love of learning. Children learn through hands-on materials, purposeful activity, movement, and thoughtful guidance from trained teachers.
How is Montessori different from a traditional classroom?
Children are active participants in their learning. Rather than moving every child through the same lesson at the same pace, Montessori lets children build skills through individualized work, repetition, exploration, and choice within clear limits.
“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.”
