About Academic Foundations: The Montessori Method

In our Montessori lab, you won’t see children sitting still for rote learning. Instead, you'll see them using the Moveable Alphabet to build words, the Seguin Board to grasp number quantities, and the Pink Tower to understand dimension—activities that convert abstract concepts into physical reality.
