Elonera Montessori School - School Philosophy

School Philosophy

Montessori in the early years relies upon specialised hands-on concrete learning materials. High-school students use abstract thinking skills, and rely on the internet and use literature and reference materials for their own research. The school believes that:

• children learn in different ways, using all of their senses.
• children learn not to be afraid of making mistakes; they see them as natural steps in the learning process.
• children learn to collaborate and work together.
• children strive for their personal best, rather than compete for the highest grade in the class.
