In the context of a small school, we are committed to doing what is necessary to empower and support teachers to become self-motivated, autonomous, and self-motivated leaders. management but still maintains a passion for Montessori. We believe that becoming a teacher – leader of LIFE Montessori is a unique opportunity for each Teacher to rediscover themselves, their potential and what is important to them in life.
A school with parental engagement
“It takes a village to raise a child”
Children’s lives take place at home, school and in society. So education does not only take place at school with teachers, but also at home with family members and out there with people in society. Parents are the first and most important teachers for their children. Parents whose children attend the LIFE Network of schools will be supported so they can help their children in the ways they need. We will share with parents about Montessori, how their children learn in a Montessori environment; At the same time, find ways and means to continue to expand awareness and increase capacity so that we can support our children on this special journey. We appreciate the intelligence and contributions of parents; We invite parents’ participation and support in their children’s learning process. Similarly, we hope that parents will also see their role as an active supporter and partner, not just a customer.
Simple beauty and harmony with nature
“Like a daisy in a field of roses”
Each LIFE school is like a daisy, or a wildflower, with its own simple and natural beauty. To the best of our ability, we strive to design learning environments in a way that has our own unique expression of simple beauty and connection to nature. Not flashy or showy, each school has its own beauty through the exquisite artistry of the adults and children living in that environment, through the simply and beautifully displayed school supplies. Each school is designed with nature and the environment in mind. We prioritize the use of natural, environmentally friendly materials, with as much sunlight and greenery as possible. Natural beauty and aesthetics are incorporated into the environment to become part of the impressions and perceptions of our children.
A decentralized system
As an ecosystem of independent and interdependent schools that support each other, and share our open approach for the benefit of all children.
LIFE is an ecosystem of Montessori schools that are self-sustaining and independent, and accountable to their neighboring schools and the broader LIFE school community. It is a network in which the spirit of sharing, empowerment and cooperation is the key to collective success.
