MONTESSORI METHOD

The goal of HPMS is to create a high-quality Montessori learning environment that meets the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of community members.

To achieve this goal, HPMS is constructed for and about children. The curriculum at HPMS is based on the Montessori Method, created by Dr. Maria Montessori who was the first female physician in Italy and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in the field of education.

At HPMS, high standards are set for the children who are educated in a positive Montessori environment that encourages independence, respect, growth and community membership. In this environment, children not only "learn how to learn," but learn how to be a member of a caring community.

"Our care of the children should be governed not by the desire to make them learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within them the light which is called intelligence."
- Dr. Maria Montessori
