In keeping with the A.M.I. Montessori education system, Manor Montessori School strives to provide its students with an environment conducive to learning and self- development. A well-rounded program includes: A.M.I materials, French, Music, Skating, Skiing, Tennis, Golf and gym. This has proven to be a very successful combination for developing a well-rounded student.

School Philosophy
The Manor Montessori School curriculum is very diversified in that it covers both the traditional and uniquely Montessori subjects of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math and Culture. The Cultural area of the curriculum includes: Art, Music, French, History, Geography, Biology, Botany and Science. Even a child of 2.5 is presented these subjects at a "sensorial" level. As the child grows and continues to mature, the work becomes more challenging and complex. No one area of study is taught in isolation but rather interdependently, so that the child learns that everyone and everything is part of the great Cosmic Universe. The Montessori curriculum is non-graded and noncompetitive, thus permitting the child to work and grow in an environment that allows their individual potential to reach its own level, at its own pace, without any negative or judgmental pressure. Based on the Montessori classroom structure, enrollment in the program is possible at any point during the school year provided space is available.
