Montessori Elementary Education de Eilanden

Very nice located Montessori Elementary School at the Western Islands with friendly and knowledgeable teachers and very good school management. The Montessori Theory (named after Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori) is an approach to learning where the key principles are Independence, Observation, Following the Child, Correcting the Child, Prepared Environment and Absorbent Mind. The Montessori Theory approach, concepts and foundation principles can be applied across all ages. At the Montessori school children from 4 to 6 years old sit together in substructure groups. There are children aged 6 to 9 in the middle classes. The superstructure groups are intended for 9 to 12 year olds. An important reason for classifying the groups is that children experience what it is like to be the youngest, middle or oldest of a group. Older children are expected to have more independence and are asked to help younger classmates. Younger children are encouraged and challenged to come into contact with new things and to pick them up by looking at the older child. They learn that it is not bad not being able to do something, that learning things is a process. Children get respect for each other instead of an unhealthy competition.
