The Montessori system of education is a philosophy developed around a child's natural growth. The system is based on the child’s developmental needs for freedom within limits. In a carefully prepared environment, the child is guaranteed exposure to materials and experiences through which to develop intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities.

- Elementary School programs: This is the time to use one’s mind to explore all the areas of knowledge, to learn how to carry out research, and to develop creative ways of processing, exploring and expressing this knowledge.
