The Ardee Montessori School

Montessori education was founded in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to become a physician.The Ardee School, recognize the child as a natural learner and knowledge as the outcome of the child’s own activity. The learning at the Ardee School is built on each learner’s ability to draw upon and construct their own knowledge, nurture their inherent interest in ‘making meaning’. Every practice at the Ardee School is in the service of providing our students the tools they need to become independent learners, ethically and environmentally aware. The teachers are facilitators who encourage change with tools of reflection, analysis, creative thinking, intelligent guessing and interpretation.
