The Boxwood School Inc.

Boxwood is a school honoring Dr. Maria Montessori s principles and philosophy.
It is a place where the young child can benefit in full measure from the most creative and absorbing period of his life -- the years from three to six or seven.
It provides an easy transition from the pre-verbal and pre-school experiences in the home to the stimulations of group experience in a many-faceted environment.
It stresses a mixed age grouping in the belief that free and natural movement within this early childhood peer group constitutes the most effective means of developing self-awareness and self-esteem. We respect each child s individual pattern and pace of learning. Boxwood regards learning as a unified experience in which social, emotional, and intellectual development are inextricably linked. We provider academic and social basics in child-sized portions Reading, Phonics, Spelling, Writing, Nature Study, Music, Arithmetic, Courtesy, Grace, Poise, Sensitivity, Alertness, Generosity and Cooperation.
