The Road Less Traveled

At Our Lady’s Montessori School, our classroom environments are intentionally designed to support the specific needs of each child’s plane of development.

Real-World Readiness
Our Montessori classroom approach to mixed age learning offers our students real-world readiness.  In our classrooms, collaboration across differences is essential. The Montessori approach reflects how people naturally interact in families, workplaces, and communities. 

The Montessori curriculum is organized as an integrated spiral of studies rather than a compartmentalized model. From early childhood through elementary programs, subject areas are carefully linked to demonstrate God’s handiwork across the spectrum of studies.

Our Primary children, (3-6 years) crave and happily engage in repetitious works, songs and stories. They are drawn to sequencing and sorting concrete objects, utilizing their senses to appreciate details. As children progress through the elementary classroom environments, the concrete is no longer essential to their learning as their interest shifts toward sequencing and sorting abstract ideas.

Students explore the meanings of literature, history, grammar, writing, and science, while the Catholic faith is interwoven through collaborative discussion and in-depth, inter-connected study. This structure develops into deeper discoveries and conversations as the students grow in understanding and maturity.
