School Mission
Our mission is to foster the naturally developing minds of children. We believe Montessori is a way of life. The environment and Montessori works develop a child’s confidence in themselves. We provide a child-centered environment; where each child has responsibility and ownership over the classroom and their learning rate. We want to mentally empower and build self-confidence and a work ethic that will last a lifetime. Our Center We promote a fun learning experience while creating a substantial foundation of education every young child deserves. Rogue Valley Montessori uses the Montessori approach to educate children between the ages of 3.0 to 9.5 years old, from Preschool through Fourth Grade. We promote a bilingual and multicultural classroom experience. We focus on concept development to provide the best foundation for abstraction in later years. We bring nature back into the classroom to inspire a child's natural rhythm and bring tranquility and respect for our planet. We offer a mixed-aged classroom experience, developmentally appropriate natural didactic materials, guidance, and a child-directed learning experience. |

Additional Benefits
Balanced Educational Environment We provide students with the balance their young minds need. Children work through group lessons, one-on-one lessons, and student-teacher lessons. Montessori work sessions allow children to get into a quiet workflow free of distractions; a child can self-reflect and self-teach. Children have the option to be both students and teachers. Play is also essential for a young child. Creative play and subjects are introduced to build on their creativity and out-of-the-box thinking. A mixture of outside time and games provides their physical activity demands. A peaceful rest time, with stories or yoga, teaches them self-soothing and calming skills. |
We must help the child to act for himself, will for himself, think for himself; this is the art of those who aspire to serve the spirit. -Dr. Maria Montessori
