What is Red Hill Montessori all about?

We are a Montessori based school with high standards. Leila Charlesworth, the founder, has created a warm and loving environment with an emphasis on learning. The development of a healthy value system is part of the Montessori method. Students work to develop strong core values, such as honesty, self-esteem, and respect for others daily throughout a normal school day. Our student body, consisting of children from numerous cultural backgrounds, lends to the beauty and diversity that our school entails. Knowledgeable, loving teachers are at the heart of this school. In order to enhance the staff/parent relationship there are scheduled parent-teacher conferences that occur twice a year, as well as opportunities to maintain an open communication system through out the year.

What is Montessori?

Montessori is an educational approach, which helps each child grow to become a competent citizen, a proponent of peace, and a responsible custodian of earth. A school, such as Red Hill Montessori, has a deep respect for children as unique individuals. We are a warm and supportive community of students, teachers, and parents. Montessori assumes that children are born intelligent, but they learn in different ways and progress at their own pace.
