Kenmont Montessori School:
Located in Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas, Kenmont Montessori School is an independent, non- denominational school serving over 300 students 18 months through 6th grade. Kenmont is designed to attract and benefit parents and students who have an interest in the Montessori educational design. Our toddler, primary and elementary programs are based on the Montessori method. The Montessori child is a motivated doer, rather than empty vessel. The Montessori child learns through self-instigated actions on his environment. The academic curriculum is composed of three components; presentation of concepts, review of basic skills, and research.
As part of our programs we also use the MicroSociety model. Students in grades 4th, 5th and 6th grade participate weekly in this simulated society were learning experiences are authentic and interconnected to the real world. By following the guiding principles of the MicroSociety organization, student are able to find meaning and relevance in their environment. At Kenmont, students learn about people different from themselves and about equity and fairness in their classrooms. These are the lessons that stay with them into adulthood.
