Granville House Montessori School, Vancouver, BC

This revolutionary method of education is based on the simple and fundamental principle of “following the child”. The Montessori program nurtures the natural development of the child and builds on their innate curiosity to learn. Through peer and teacher interaction and an integrated curriculum that includes activities for self and group learning, children begin a unique experience to self-discovery.The Montessori classroom can be refereed to as a carefully planned environment. By creating a learning space where children feel comfortable to explore, they develop a sense of independence and enhance their cognitive development through ‘learning by doing’. The unique combination of activities coupled with self, peer and teacher learning helps children enhance creativity, build critical thinking and problem solving skills. Our program provides the foundation for life long education, where a deep desire for learning is the result of individual discovery and genuine inquisitiveness.
