Take a Peek: Daily Classroom Life

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ’The children are now working as if I did not exist.’
— Maria Montessori

Take a peek at what a typical morning work cycle looks like. 

While you watch, notice a few things:

  • Student spacing and interactions

  • Student movement

  • Student concentration and focus

  • Teacher’s roles

  • Noise level and communication

  • Work selections

  • How many subjects can you see being practiced?

We’re not making this up! Of course, not every day is perfect. But the freedom (within limits) that a Montessori education offers students truly does help grow independent learners. 

We are so grateful to be able to step back and watch our students pursue their interests. Their interactions are respectful, and we thoroughly enjoy spending our days with them. 

Hopefully you enjoyed this look into daily life at Academy of the Winds. We are so proud of each and every learner.
