Our Mission
Woodland Hill Montessori School – a diverse and engaging educational partnership of parents, teachers, children, and community – nurtures a child’s love of learning and sense of social and personal responsibility using the child-centered Montessori philosophy and curriculum to develop the intellectual, spiritual, physical, artistic, and academic excellence inherent in each child.
Our Educational Goals
The Montessori curriculum varies at the four levels of our school, but the goals are consistent throughout the programs:
- To enter into a partnership with parents in the education of their children
- To encourage the self-motivation and self-discipline that will lead to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge
- To lead children to mastery of precisely identified intellectual, social, and physical skills
- To help children develop a positive self-image as the key to the development of their full potential
- To foster open minds, compassion, and respect for others
- To balance self-reliance, independence, and responsible freedom with the skills of working cooperatively
- To instill in each child a sense of duty and personal responsibility for the world in which we live
- To spark in our children imagination, wonder, humor, and joy
