Ronald Knox Montessori School: A 55-year tradition of excellence<br />
Why choose a<br />
Montessori School<br />
for your child?<br />
Research has shown<br />
that the best predictor<br />
of future success is<br />
confidence along with<br />
a positive sense of self.<br />
Beginning your child’s<br />
education at a Montessori<br />
school during their most<br />
formative, impressionable<br />
years can set them firmly<br />
on that path.<br />
Fundamental to the<br />
Montessori approach is<br />
that children become independent<br />
by developing<br />
their sense of order, coordination,<br />
and concentration.<br />
As a result, they<br />
develop positive character<br />
qualities, self-discipline,<br />
and the ability to “think<br />
out of the box.”<br />
Why choose Ronald Knox<br />
Montessori School?<br />
In dedicating ourselves<br />
wholly to Maria Montessori’s<br />
philosophy, we<br />
adhere to the highest<br />
standards of Montessori<br />
education. Ronald Knox<br />
Montessori School is<br />
fully accredited, meeting<br />
or exceeding standards<br />
set forth by the American<br />
Montessori Society<br />
(AMS). We have over 55<br />
years of educating and instilling<br />
the love of learning<br />
in children on the<br />
North Shore — many of<br />
our “graduates” are now<br />
sending their own children<br />
to Ronald Knox!<br />
Ronald Knox Montessori<br />
School offers children<br />
a warm, welcoming<br />
environment, where they<br />
are encouraged to explore<br />
a world of activities<br />
in mixed age classrooms,<br />
supervised by nurturing<br />
teachers and their assistants.<br />
Our teachers are<br />
highly qualified, with credentials<br />
from AMS certified<br />
training centers. Our<br />
beautiful classroom environments<br />
are designed,<br />
built, and maintained for<br />
the children, following<br />
Montessori philosophy.<br />
The child, making use of<br />
all that he finds around<br />
him, shapes himself for the<br />
future.<br />
— Maria Montessori<br />
The children in all of our<br />
programs are guided by<br />
their teachers as they make<br />
discoveries and learn in a<br />
natural, intuitive, handson<br />
manner. Children develop<br />
skills they will use<br />
both inside and outside the<br />
classroom, such as creative<br />
problem solving, grace and<br />
courtesy, respect for themselves,<br />
others, and the world<br />
around them. Ronald Knox<br />
children are more than prepared<br />
to enter elementary<br />
schools upon “graduating.”<br />
Our teachers respect all<br />
children as unique individuals.<br />
They understand that<br />
children develop and learn<br />
at their own pace. They<br />
strive to instill a life-long<br />
love of learning in all of the<br />
children, setting them on a<br />
path to reach their highest<br />
potential.<br />
Our strong, involved, and<br />
supportive community of<br />
parents, faculty and administrators<br />
are dedicated to<br />
ensuring that Ronald Knox<br />
continues to maintain its<br />
level of excellence.<br />
