Our mission is to provide a solid academic foundation employing the philosophy of Maria Montessori within a loving, respectful and supportive community.
Through Cosmic Education we give the child a vision of the whole universe
All children experience maximum learning potential or windows of optimum learning at various times
All children are motivated to learn, multiple and divergent intelligences are honored and recognized
The celebration and respect of diversity is critical
The child’s hand is his teacher—experiential learning is essential to internalization
The prepared environment is a student centered, learner-centered environment
Self-discipline is achieved through natural consequences and peace education
The dignity of labor and purposeful movement is vital and encouraged
Hello Faith North Community,
Last Friday we had our 2nd annual Father/Daughter Dance. It is truly touching to see the girls with the important guy in their life dancing and enjoying dinner together. The moms provided ham and turkey rollups along with almond butter and jam sandwiches. There were also a lot of pretty pink confections that matched most of the beautiful dresses that were there.
This week is national E-Week (National Engineers Week). In many classrooms we have had engineers doing a lesson on domes.
The children have been discussing variable and predictions then testing their theories with gumdrops and toothpicks. One of the major things they have learned with the engineers is the strength of triangles as opposed to other geometric shapes. Be sure to ask your child about this lesson.
Please join us for our Site Council and PTA meeting this week on Wednesday evening on the Main Campus. The agenda’s for both meetings will be emailed to families early next week.
Please remember that Spring Break is quickly approaching. Our break begins on March 7th and school resumes on the 14th.
All the best!
Susan Engdall
Principal
