OUR MISSION

Mission & Vision

South Broward Montessori Charter School aims to facilitate a well-rounded, comprehensive curriculum, utilizing the Montessori Methodology and Philosophy.

The Montessori Methodology and Philosophy

We affirm the aspirations of the national early childhood curriculum, for children to grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body, and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to society.

The fundamental principles of Montessori education are respect for the child; promoting independence and encouraging a love of learning.

We promote respect for oneself, one another, and the environment.

Independence is encouraged, enabling children to take responsibility for their own learning.

We offer children freedom of choice within a supportive, structured setting.

The carefully prepared environment empowers children to learn using all of their senses while engaging in real, purposeful, and meaningful activities, inside and outside.

Montessori education helps children to observe, think, and evaluate.

Positive attitudes of tolerance, understanding, persistence, concentration, and a love of learning are nurtured.

Together children, families, caregivers, and teachers are committed to sharing knowledge.

Warm, reciprocal relationships are fostered with families and the community.

Teachers are committed to supporting children and responding to the interests, strengths, and capabilities of all the diverse groups of children who attend South Broward Montessori and supporting them to achieve success.

Teachers are committed to ongoing professional development.

Our Vision

Our vision is a community where children are respected, valued, and loved so they can grow, through their learning, into independent and knowledgeable adults who will contribute positively to our society.

Our Mission

Our goal is to instill a sense of wonder about the universe and the child’s place within it. We strive to implement an individualized child-centered curriculum that includes movement, manipulation, and discovery within a multi-aged classroom. Our classrooms extend into the community, creating a web of exchange among community members, families, and teachers.
