The International Montessori Academy of Costa Mesa K-6th Program is designed to meet the needs of each individual child in a way that is faithful to Dr. Maria Montessori’s insights and is consistent with the expectations of the California State Standards. Students educated at our academy are always eager to take on new challenges. The classroom setting is ideal for creating self-starting, self-motivated students. The environment is one that promotes independence, mastery, purpose, responsibility, and respect. Students develop competence through self-will, self-direction, and self-discipline. This competence is not from an over confidence, but rather from an excitement to apply what is already learned to what isn’t yet learned. This competence becomes significant when the students are ready to graduate and go on to a more traditional school.
