Dr. Maria Montessori was a visionary and inspirational leader ahead
of her time. She believed in the natural curiosity of children
and provided a method to nurture that curiosity by bringing out
the explorer in them. By doing this, Dr. Montessori showed us
how to educate the individual by nurturing these creative, curious
and gifted thinkers.
The Montessori method of education is a model that serves the
needs of children of all levels of mental and physical ability
as they live and learn in a natural, mixed-age group. It allows
children to discover, not only from the instructors and specially
designed materials, but from playing and learning from one another
as well. This builds confidence, trust and socialization skills
that will be necessary for them to adapt in the world as they
grow.
Five Oaks Academy is no different. We embrace the idea that
the ultimate learning environment is warm and relaxed and laced
with love – a balance of freedom coupled with a sense of
order and self-discipline. It is our mission to provide children
with exactly such an environment which, in turn, will inspire
them to learn.
