Our Programs

I grew up with Montessori practices, so we knew we wanted our son to have the same learning experiences. We appreciate how much care his teachers take. His language and social skills have grown so quickly in just a short amount of time. You can tell he thinks deeper about the world around him.

All Kinds of Going Outs

By Stephanie Sayre • 16 Apr, 2024
ALL KINDS OF GOING OUTS An important skill for children to develop is the ability to apply things they've learned to new situations. These "transferable skills" are key for critical thinking, problem solving, and so many of the soft skills that are valuable in our lives. In Montessori, one of the ways that students develop these skills is in "Going Outs" and those can happen in many different ways. Throughout the school year, students in Upper Elementary and Adolescent classes, venture off campus to extend their learning in exciting ways, such as visiting Southwestern University to learn about Chinese language. Other times, the Going Outs are for community service, such as when Nova students help out at Simple Sparrow farm.
