At Alexander Montessori, we always aim for a 3-pointer! 🏀🌟 3 Points of Montessori education are: 🌟 Nurturing Independence 🌟 Fostering Curiosity 🌟 Embracing Individuality In the Elementary Program, children deepen their hunger for learning and master the internal tools to discover knowledge on their own. Having achieved a sophisticated sense of wonder, Montessori students continue to follow their intellectual curiosity at their own pace, often ahead of grade level, and beyond their traditionally educated peers.

In this episode, we have a conversation with long-time Montessorian, Elizabeth Slade, who talks about using Language of Reverence as an essential part of our Montessori practice. Language of Reverence explores the power of our words and their effects on human flourishing. By examining and changing our word choice to and about children, each other, and ourselves, we can change our sense of the school community and ultimately our impact on each other. Don't miss this inspiring conversation! https://lnkd.in/eAVr4QKg

Why Orthodox Montessori School? Our Orthodox Montessori school stands out for more than just being associated with an Orthodox church; it embodies a carefully crafted framework where participants, their guardians, and educators are interwoven into a liturgical life fabric, rooted in Orthodoxy. This design aims to foster progress in the knowledge of God through an orthodox education.   Orthodoxy, as a guiding principle, promotes the respect of freedom, as Montessori value, while acknowledging hierarchy. Children are granted the freedom to choose what they learn, based on their abilities, across selected fields. This freedom is guided by orthodox educators who provide the necessary tools for achieving holistic growth.   Embracing a liturgical life is integral to our school's ethos, encouraging all constituents to progress in the knowledge of God, ultimately leading to eternal life.   Our commitment to Orthodoxy extends to embracing a high organizational structure with a servant leadership style of school governance, ensuring a supportive and nurturing environment.   Learning about God is not a standalone item in our daily program; it is seamlessly woven into the fabric of our school. It is an integral part (Liturgical) of every activity throughout the day.   The teachings of Orthodoxy are evident in our school's design, educators' conduct, our philosophical approach, and our curriculum.   Choosing our Orthodox Montessori school means choosing an environment where faith, freedom, and knowledge coalesce to provide a unique and enriching educational experience.

Last week, our Westside Montessori community came together in a beautiful display of kindness that truly warmed our hearts. From small gestures to grand acts, every act of kindness contributed to a tapestry of compassion and empathy that defines our school spirit. Kindness isn't just a value we teach; it's a way of life at Westside Montessori. In our community, we believe that fostering kindness is essential for nurturing well-rounded individuals who not only excel academically but also contribute positively to society. Here's why kindness is so crucial in our community and in the Montessori philosophy: 🤝 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: Kindness forms the foundation of strong and meaningful relationships among students, teachers, and families. It creates a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and respected. 🌱 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆: By practicing kindness, we cultivate empathy – the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Empathy is a cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy, promoting a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of humanity. 🌈 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻: Kindness transcends boundaries and embraces diversity. It celebrates differences and promotes inclusivity, ensuring that every member of our community feels seen, heard, and appreciated for who they are. 🌻 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: A kind and supportive atmosphere is conducive to learning. When students feel safe and supported, they're more likely to take risks, explore their interests, and thrive academically and emotionally. As we reflect on the past week's events, let's carry the spirit of kindness forward in all that we do. Whether it's a smile, a helping hand, or a word of encouragement, let's continue to spread kindness like confetti, brightening the lives of those around us. Thank you to everyone who participated in making Kindness Week a resounding success! Together, we are shaping a future filled with compassion, empathy, and positivity. #montessori #education #community #kindness #houston #students #family

Imagine a world where every child, regardless of their background, receives a fair start to life—a world where education isn't just a privilege but a fundamental right. In South Africa, this vision faces a critical challenge. According to the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust Education Research Report, only 55% of teachers can perform at Grade 4 level, highlighting a crisis in the education system. But we refuse to accept this status quo. At the Indaba Institute, we're pioneering change through our Community Rooted Education (CoRE) Programme—a seven-month course designed to empower women directly in their own communities. Why women? Because they are the backbone of our society, and investing in their education means investing in the future. I look forward to bringing you more life changing community moments as we scale. #IndabaInstitute #ECD #EmpoweringWomen
