Parkside Community School is a Montessori school that has been serving children since 1991.
At Parkside, children's individuality is honored by nurturing their innate curiosity, growing independence, and problem-solving skills.
Children at Parkside can expect to learn a variety of skills, such as reading at a young age, completing long division problems, and classifying botanical specimens.
Parkside views the relationship with families as a partnership, coming together for the benefit of the child. It is important for home and school to work in harmony for children to thrive.
A recent paper published in Frontiers in Psychology provides evidence that a Montessori education may be superior to traditional methods, especially in terms of students' long-term psychological health and well-being. Renowned Montessori researcher, Angeline Lillard, found that Montessori pedagogy is better for humans than the common model.
