Educational Philosophy
Montessori is based on the philosophy of education and human development. We see the child as a motivated participant in their education, learning through self-instigated actions on the environment. Because of this belief, we emphasize hands on learning, individualized lessons, and cooperative social interactions. Our curriculum implements the Montessori method of education that also integrates the MN State Standards into our daily practice.
Parent Testimonials
"We have been at Three Rivers Montessori for two years now, with two of our children at the school. TRM is a great resource for those in our community looking for another option outside of traditional school while still being a free public charter school. Children get to learn in a hands on way, with the most beautiful materials that really help keep them engaged . It is a child led learning experience, with educators that are fully invested in making sure every kid is where they need to be academically.
One thing we love is that our son has been with the same teacher for two years so far. She has been on top of his personal progress in a way that wouldn’t have been able to be followed in the same way if he had switched teachers every year. As a former homeschooling family we wanted to find an option that felt safe, celebrated our children for who they were , and had great opportunities for social interaction. We have found everything we were looking for and more at Three Rivers Montessori. We have seen our children grow so much, and look forward to continuing to see how the school can positively influence more families lives."
