About Us

We believe learning is an exciting process and from the moment we are born we begin the adventure of teaching ourselves about our world. A young child learns best in a “prepared environment” alongside a fully trained guide to help them grow to fulfill their greatest potential. In the Montessori Method all five senses are emphasized as a natural means to motivate a child’s innate and individual learning style. A child will gain and then “own” their right to lifelong learning through a profound ability to concentrate and a strong sense of self-discipline. As they master each new lesson, their self-confidence will grow leading to the desire to learn more and therefore building a strong sense of self worth.

By practicing the philosophy and using materials set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori, ANH Montessori School provides a unique alternative to traditional schools, both public and private. The prepared environment inspires children to develop inner discipline, self-assurance, and a love of learning.
