Recognizing the dignity of every child, we pledge to provide an environment based on the educational theories of Dr. Maria Montessori. We will allow each child to progress at his or her own rate in multi-aged classrooms of 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 year olds. We will strive to create within each child the ability to work independently, develop a love of learning, and become capable of making decisions. We further pledge t0 support these attributes as they enhance the quality of life and promote the development of future leaders.
