Montessori School in Birmingham, AL
Hilltop Montessori School:
Hilltop Montessori School is an independent, secular school in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama offering the highest quality of private education based on the principle of Montessori philosophy. Our student body is composed of children from age 18 months through eighth grade. The environment promotes a child’s discovery, learning, teaching, and growth. Hilltop Montessori’s curriculum fosters within the child a positive attitude toward learning, a respect toward self and others, and an understanding of one’s responsibility to the world.
Montessori Education:
The goal of both Montessori and traditional kindergartens is the same: to provide learning experiences for the child. The biggest differences lie in the kinds of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal. Montessori educators believe both differences are important because they help shape what children learn, their work patterns and their future attitudes toward themselves and the world around them.
The Montessori classroom uses concrete materials that are self-correcting and allow the children to learn at their own pace. These materials help the child to see, touch, feel, and freely explore their environments without the teacher's intervention. The Montessori teacher provides individual instruction within set guidelines. The children learn self respect, respect for others, and respect for their environment. Montessori methods and materials promote an inner discipline and self-motivation.
Montessori Teachers:
The main focus of a Montessori teacher is to guide the child by providing a well-prepared environment. This environment fosters the creativity and the curiosity of the child and also bolsters the child's self-esteem. The child is able to learn independently and with the help of his peers and teacher. Children receiving Montessori instruction excel academically and socially with the confidence they need to reach their fullest potential.
Accreditation:
Hilltop is accredited with The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS).
