Welcome to Montessori Voyage! We are a Montessori-based homeschooling program for families of children in grades TK-6 available to all students who are eligible to attend Springs Charter School. The program is rooted in Montessori theory and philosophy, with lessons and activities designed to spark the imagination and sow seeds of interest in each student. The program will consist of distance learning at home 5 days per week, with occasional park days and other “al fresco” activities, consisting of outdoor, experiential learning and/or electives and special interest clubs in small cohorts of learners who will have the opportunity to form deep connections throughout the year.
Students attending Montessori Voyage will have the opportunity to pursue individual interests, collaborate with peers, develop independence and time management skills, and cultivate personal relationships. Under the guidance of qualified educators, children will have daily opportunities to participate in live, interactive online sessions, as well as have access to recorded videos. In addition, parents will receive mentoring and support from teachers on implementing the Montessori philosophy and approach in the home environment.
