Overview:<br />
Moylan Montessori is the newest program in the <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>Schools</strong> Montessori Initiative. The program will grow next<br />
year to serve approximately 140 students PK3- grade 3 equivalent.<br />
The program follows Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) guidelines for an authentic implementation of the highly<br />
successful educational methods of Dr. Maria Montessori. Our classrooms are mixed age groups-Primary (3-6+ years); Lower<br />
Elementary (6-9 years); and Upper Elementary (9-12). Children stay in their classroom environments for 3-4 years with the<br />
same guide (teacher). The communities of children support one another socially, emotionally and academically. Each<br />
environment is specially prepared with materials and lessons that serve each developmental stage. Educators individually<br />
guide children to learn at their own pace- exploring and discovering based on their interests. Children emerge as<br />
independent, confident, compassionate, responsible members of society. The Montessori program is Education-for-Life.<br />
Special features:<br />
The HPS Montessori Initiative is comprised of both Moylan Montessori and Fisher Montessori. Both function under the<br />
guidelines of the Association Montessori Internationale (Amsterdam). In 2012, Fisher Montessori was awarded “recognition”<br />
by AMI/USA, an acknowledgment of the highest quality program implementation at both primary and elementary levels.<br />
Fisher Montessori is the only <strong>Public</strong> Montessori program nationwide that is currently awarded this status by AMI/USA. It is<br />
also the only Montessori program (public or private) in Connecticut to receive recognition at the elementary level. Moylan<br />
Montessori will seek full recognition when it grows to include the full complement of elementary levels.<br />
