An Albrook Montessori Education
	The Albrook School is truly a "house for children."  Our approach to education goes beyond academics.  We model respect and love to every child in our house.  In turn, we welcome and expect our Montessori parents to become part of their child's experience at Albrook.  The interrelationship between home and school provides the foundation for present and future relationships and accomplishments.

Albrook's teachers touch the children's imagination and kindle in them a sense of the limitless possibilities in their world.  By truly believing in each child's potential, the teacher instills great confidence and positive attitudes towards life-long learning. 

At Albrook, we want our children to grow into independent problem solvers and caring, responsible citizens.  The teacher prepares the environment to a high degree of perfection with a series of sequential, manipulative and sensorial materials that ultimately bridge the gap between concrete and abstract learning. The teacher is a link between these materials and the child.  With a great understanding of human development, the teacher observes each child, reflects upon his/her observations and individualizes the curriculum.  Thus, the environment becomes a nourishing place for each child.

The Albrook School Curriculum includes:

     cultural enrichment including foreign languages and geography

     an integrated approach to language

     a firm mathematical foundation developed through the use of didactic

         material    

     the development of the child's natural tendency to seek explanations

         through scientific experiments and observations

     a peace curriculum

Albrook's philosophy is designed to cultivate respect, responsibility, independence and tolerance for others.
