Voices of the Village: Real Stories from Our Families

Focus on Character Development and Respectful Conduct

“Thanks to VMS's Montessori approach, my children have grown into kind, inquisitive, and respectful individuals. Their unique blend of personal attention, outdoor activities, and self-management lessons is truly transformative.”

Danielle Ruderman ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holistic and Personalized Learning Environment

“At VMS, the indoor classroom comes alive with children fully invested in their learning. My 3-year-old's excitement, saying "I love going to school!", is a testament to the school's genuine Montessori vision.”

Embracing Curiosity in a Rapidly Changing World

As traditional job roles quickly evolve and new digital careers are accelerating at an unprecedented pace, Maria Montessori's timeless insight grows ever more relevant:

Children thrive when curiosity guides their learning.

In an era dominated by AI, automation, and the internet, fostering adaptability and creativity is not just a choice, but a necessity.

The Montessori Difference

Children are naturally curious.

With the right approach, it's possible to harness this and help develop independent thinkers who use their freedom and creativity to bring peace and order.

One-size-fits-all approach vs Individualized learning

A standardized curriculum and teaching methods don't consider each student's individual learning styles and needs.

Montessori classrooms are thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate, accessible materials that promote exploration, discovery, and independence. Teachers move around the room to work with students 1-on-1 or with a small group to encourage their progress.

Memorization vs Understanding

Most schools emphasize memorizing facts and information.

The Montessori method uses hands-on, experiential learning which gradually guide the child towards abstract thinking. Children develop a deep and lasting comprehension of concepts as they explore, ask questions, and make discoveries independently.

Poor student engagement vs Student-led learning

Traditional education often limits student choice in terms of what they learn, how and when they learn it, and what projects or assignments they complete. This stifles interest and creativity.

The Montessori method encourages children to choose learning activities based on their interests and work at their own pace. This primes children to be in a powerful state that cultivates hyper-focused, lifelong learners.

Seeing is believing.
