The Montessori School of Westminster provides a hands-on, individualized, respectful learning environment for students ages 2 through 15 years (9th grade). Founded in 1974, MSW is situated on 27 majestic acres in Carroll County. What Makes Us Different A Unique, Hands-On Alternative To Traditional Educational Settings Respectful and Peaceful Environment - Each child is valued as a unique individual and supported in becoming active seeker of knowledge. Individualized Learning Experience - The Montessori teacher, called a Guide, provides individualized lesson plan for each child, and directs, rather than teaches. Students can advance academically at their own pace without limits. Social-Emotional Skills Support - Multi-age classrooms foster cooperation, mentoring, and confidence. Students learn how to solve social problems using reason and rationality. Students are part of a close, caring community. Emphasis on Freedom Within Limits - Students learn to decide for themselves and take responsibility for their actions. Students choose where in the classroom they want to work and may move around freely at any time.

The Montessori Classroom Is Child Centered Dr. Maria Montessori based her philosophy on the principles of independence, observation, following the child, correcting the child, the prepared environment and the absorbent mind. The Montessori classroom is child centered and under the direction of a trained guide where these principles are incorporated. &quot;Never help a child with a task at which he feels [the child] can succeed.&quot; - Dr. Maria Montessori Independence - By giving children opportunities to do things on their own in the classroom, the guide is promoting self-confidence and esteem that the children will carry throughout their life. The Montessori Guide Is Trained To Observe Children To Formulate Individualized Plans &quot;Follow the child. They will show you what they need to do, what they need to develop in themselves and what area they need to be challenged in. The aim of the children who persevere in their work with an object is certainly not to 'learn'; they are drawn to it by the needs of their inner life, which must be recognized and developed by its means.&quot; - Dr. Maria Montessori In order to follow the child, the Montessori guide is trained to observe children to formulate individualized plans that meet each child's academic and social-emotional needs. If a child start banging objects, it means there is a need for gross motor activity and the teacher can introduce a drum, a much more appropriate material to bang. Following the child means being non-directive, do not tell them what to do all the time. Offer the child choices. Allow the child the freedom to make choices based on his current wants or needs. The Teacher's First Duty Is To Watch Over The Environment &quot;The teacher's first duty is to watch over the environment, and this takes precedence over all the rest. It's influence is indirect, but unless it be well done there will be no effective and permanent results of any kind, physical, intellectual or spiritual.&quot; - Dr. Maria Montessori. The guide's ability to prepare the environment is their link to teaching the children. The environment must be prepared in a beautiful manner that it invites the children to learn from within it. Children's minds will absorb the information around them as their senses are stimulated. The materials on the shelves need to be precise and appealing inviting them to learn. The environment has to be safe for the child to explore freely.
