Montessori classrooms encompass an age span of three years. This allows younger students to learn from older role models and older students to test and reinforce their knowledge by helping younger classmates. Working in the same class for three years (3-6), children are able to develop a strong sense of community with their classmates and teachers. This also gives the children a foundation on which to build their future interactions with others and the world in general. The experience of success after an initial difficulty is the essence of effort. This simple concept facilitates self confidence and a tremendous interest in learning.

The Montessori curriculum is organized into a mosaic of integrated studies. This is in contrast with the traditional education methods, where the curriculum is compartmentalized into subjects that are treated separately.

At One World Montessori School, we feel that the Montessori method is the only educational philosophy that truly embraces the spirit of the child.
