103. Montessori High School, An IB World School
The Montessori High School, An IB World School fulfills the needs of
students by combining the Montessori philosophy with the strengths of
the IB curriculum. Our small school targets students with a background
in Montessori education who currently have no appropriate path through
high school that utilizes the Montessori approach.The IB curriculum
serves as a capstone program, providing students with academic rigor at
the secondary level.
Montessori High School serves the community and our students by
addressing the developmental needs of the Montessori adolescent student
through experience-based learning in a carefully prepared educational
environment. In addressing the developmental needs of the high school
student, the key aspect in the development of the Montessori High School
is the curriculum integration across the disciplines and into the staging
areas, micro economy, and occupations. As the first public school to
combine Montessori concepts and IB curriculum brings a powerful,
unique secondary small-school program not just to Milwaukee, but to the
United States.
