Title: Montessori School Admission Process

  • What Is a Montessori School?
  • What comes to your mind when you think of a
    typical classroom, probably the first thing that
    comes to your mind is desks and chairs occupied
    by children, and the children are concentrating
    on a teacher explaining at the blackboard. But,
    do you know that Montessori classrooms look
    completely different than normal classrooms.
    There you will find students of age group 2 to 6
    years old engaged in different activities
    according to their interests, with the teacher
    observing, sometimes aiding a child in his or her
    endeavor.
  • What is a Montessori School?
  • The most basic thing is, Montessori education
    focuses on child-centric learning. In Montessori
    education, students are encouraged to be the
    leaders of their own study, finding the
    activities that make the student's study
    interesting, with the teacher serving as a guide
    to their learning.
  • Much of the Montessori experience is hands-on. In
    any Montessori classroom, you may find a group of
    children working on a puzzle while another group
    undertakes a days-long art project, while another
    child reads quietly by themselves. Children are
    encouraged to go at their own pace, work
    collaboratively and individually, and spend time
    working on projects they enjoy.
  • The Montessori approach considers the development
    of the whole child
  • physical, social, emotional, cognitive.
  • What should Look for in a Montessori school?
  • The students have their own pace and interest to
    study. Every child has their own way to make
    themselves busy. Following are the things you
    should look for in a Montessori school.
  • Mixed-ages.
  • Real Montessori schools have children of
    different ages in the same classroom, though
    students tend to all be 2 years to 6 years old.
    The idea here is that children learn at
    different paces in different areas Where one
    child might learn to read at 4 years old, another
    might explode into reading at late 5. Why push
    one or hold another back based on some average at
    which children are supposed to read? Children
    also tend to learn a lot from more mature peers,
    which is not possible in single-age classrooms.
  • Choose their Work
  • Real Montessori schools will have a significant
    chunk of time in the day dedicated to children
    working on materials of their choosing, This is
    the freedom part of the equation, but its
    considered within limits because the activities
    are chosen from structured options that the
    teacher purposefully selects beforehand.
  • For children, this work period is usually
    two hours. For 2-6 year-olds, its usually about
    three hours. This can seem unbelievable to
    teachers and

2
parents who havent been in a Montessori
environment, as in No way my child would focus
for that long! But the reality is that if
children are given work to do that is meaningful
and engaging, from washing a table at 3 years old
to doing multiplication at 5 years old and if
they are allowed to choose to do that work of
their own volition then they have impressive
sustained focus. Set up in 2005, Floretz
Academy is one of the best and oldest
Montessori Schools in South East Bangalore.
Floretz has 2 Schools one in HSR Layout
and the other in Kasavanahalli, off
Sarjapur Road. Both the schools are
registered with the Government of
Karnataka and are accredited and recognized
by the Indian Montessori Centre. The School
offers Montessori education for children from the
age group of 2-6 years and post-school care
and Daycare center for children from the age
group of 2-12 years. There are various
programs after school including IOTA
Accelerated Math Program (1st to 8th
Standards), Music (Carnatic vocals), Dance
