“… the calm surroundings, the silence, the wonders of nature satisfy the need of the adolescent mind for reflection and meditation.”

- Dr. Maria Montessori

In recognizing these tendencies, Montessori’s curriculum calls for opportunities for self-expression. The avenues are in Language, and in Music and the Arts.

The Language curriculum is a constant in all academic pursuits where logical presentations of findings are part of mastery tests. Presentations come in the form of public speaking (or elocution) and the theater arts.

Language covers also training in round-table discussions (or Socratic Seminars) and debates which are periodic venues for expressing personal views on an array of fields of studies and interests. Music and the Arts provide options for creative work and expressions.
