Montessori is a method of teaching children developed
by Dr. Maria Montessori. Her patient study of children and how
they learn has made great strides in the way that people worldwide teach
children. In order to better understand Maria and her work please

child.
Here at Washington Montessori Public Charter
School our goal is to provide a Montessori education to all of our
students. To nurture them in a caring and supportive environment
that will ignite their curiosity and inspire them to learn naturally.
Visitors will not see rows
of desks, textbooks or teachers lecturing in front of the class.
Instead one finds children working at shared tables, on mats on the
floor or sitting at lap desks. Resource books and novels are found
throughout the classroom and the teacher is usually nestled in a small
group of students giving lessons. Our materials address a child's
need to experience the concrete in order to understand the abstract.
