About This Cause
Aidan begins with a deep respect for children as unique individuals. There is a concern for the development for the whole child-social and emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual. An underlying purpose of a Aidan Montessori School education is to aid the child in independence and self-formation by creating an environment that can unlock the inherent potentials and intelligences within each child. We embrace the Montessori pedagogy, which is based on universal principles of child development. As sound theory and practice for teaching and learning. And we look to accept current research to inform our evolving understanding of human development. Recognizing the many differences in learning rates and styles, we believe in individualizing each child’s school experience for the fullest development of his or her potential. We embrace the concept of a multi-age, 3 years age span classroom community as optimum for academic, social and emotional learning. We value cooperation over competition and believe that each child’s work and behavior should be evaluated on his or her inherent capacity rather than by comparison. The mission at Aidan Montessori School is to create and sustain an optimum Montessori educational environment to enable each child to realize his or her richest potential for learning and to become an independent, self-motivated and contributing member of the world community. This is best accomplished by: • Providing a curriculum adhering to rigorous Montessori standards, informed by current thinking and research on child development and learning; • Fostering a love of learning; • Embracing a diverse student body in which students experience and learn to respect ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences and to seek and identify common ground; • Recognizing that personal growth involves responsibility toward others and toward the earth; • Facilitating the involvement of parents, teachers, students and the larger community.
