Monarch Christian
Schools believe that each child is a unique individual and values the
optimum development of the whole child. Our schools provide a
solid academic foundation which stresses the basic fundamentals of
learning from a Godly perspective. There is emphasis on Christian
character development, stressing integrity, manners, obedience, respect
for authority and self-discipline. Our schools seek to reinforce
standards as set forth in the Bible.
Why Christian and
Montessori?
Monarch Christian
Schools are based on Christian, Biblical principles and beliefs. A
strong foundation in the basics is blended with the "hands-on"
Montessori techniques. With this program, the children are exposed to a
great amount of learning. The blended techniques create a unique
educational package where children can grow to their fullest potential.
Therefore, teaching the total child, spiritually, intellectually,
physically,
emotionally, and socially helps him/her to receive a happy balanced
life. The child is intrinsically motivated to select appropriately
from a teacher prepared environment. This environment offers attractive,
practical, stimulating materials that meet the needs of each child. The
teacher gives guidance and encouragement accordingly.
What is the
Montessori Method?
Montessori is a
method of education which emphasizes the potential of the young child
and which develops this potential by utilizing specially trained
teachers and special teaching materials.
Montessori
recognizes in children a natural curiosity and desire to learn; the
Montessori Materials awaken this desire and channel that curiosity into
a learning experience which children enjoy. Montessori Materials help
children to understand what they learn by associating an abstract
concept with a sensorial experience; in this manner, the Montessori
child is actually learning not just memorizing. The Montessori Method
stresses that children learn and progress at their own pace so that fast
learners are not held back, and slow learners are not frustrated by
their inability to keep up. |
