    🌟 Spark Studio

    Students build on the capacity for concrete learning developed in the Montessori Preschool. As their ability to reason increases, they begin to think abstractly. Work time is balanced with free play, fun projects (quests), and increasing independence.

    Goal-Orientation

    Rather than follow a standardized curriculum, our learners chart their own course, setting goals each week and then working hard to reach them - which gives them the power of self-discipline and self-management - a key to being successful in the new economy.
