Apple Valley Montessori School

Our primary goal is to provide each child with an excellent Montessori education, predicated on principles established by Dr. Maria Montessori and interpreted by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI.)

• • We recognize that each child has a unique nature and, with that, the capacity to become a successful learner.
• • We promote opportunities for self-discipline and the development of a child’s inner guide, which in turn develop character.
• • We encourage personal, intellectual, and social growth through all aspects of our program.
• • We recognize that learning is multi-sensory and inter-hemispheric, and emphasize creativity and problem solving in our work with children.
• • We recognize that current and forthcoming research will illuminate methods and patterns of learning and teaching.
• • We believe that parents and teachers are partners working together for the benefit of each child.

In keeping with this mission, parents, faculty, staff, and administration maintain collegial relationships whose goal is to foster positive growth and development in the entire school community. We do this through continuing education, formal and informal sharing of ideas and experiences, professional support for our work, and personal respect for one another. It is the duty of the administration, however, to articulate the policies by which we work. Apple Valley values an administration which listens carefully to all constituencies, but reserves the right to make decisions, and formulate and enforce policies.
