All About Our Program

  


 

What Is Unique About The Boyd School?

We are a warm, welcoming community in which children and adults find friendship and support. We are a school born from a spirit and force of parents and teachers who believe in the Montessori principles and support a child/family-centered environment. We want our children to grow into autonomous, caring, responsible citizens, life-long learners and problem-solvers. Our school is a place where all are encouraged to ask questions, broaden their understanding of themselves, and the world around them.

As a statement of commitment to ourselves, and the children and families of our school, we have set the following goals for our school:

  • To provide a solid academic foundation in education employing the philosophy and materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
  • To provide a child-centered environment which emphasizes the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of the child.
  • To assist the child in developing a positive self-image and fostering satisfying, personal relationships.
  • To provide a warm, secure, and rich environment in which curious young children have the opportunity to develop a favorable attitude toward learning.
  • To accept each child as he is and to assist him in the development of each of his potentialities, as fully as possible in keeping with his own pattern of development.
  • To assist the child in understanding the law of "sow and reap" as a way in which life expresses itself.
