Frequently Asked Questions For Enquirers(FAQs)
How can I register my child at AMS?
The registration process is in stages, first the parents need to visit the school and examine it, meet the staff and learn more about the method of education. Secondly, the child is granted an assessment at the school. After assessment, to determine a suitable place for the child, a registration pack will be given to the prospective parents to begin the paperwork process.
What is Montessori Education
Montessori education seeks to aid the development of the child rather than teach him. Each child is born with a drive to create and form himself. So our responsibility as adults is not to supplant these development powers, but to create an environment which satisfies them. Montessorians carefully prepare this environment and give the children the freedom to choose their activities and move around within suitable guidelines.
Children are provided with specially designed materials which help them to find out about the world around them and help them to develop essential cognitive skills.
Mixed age groups encourage all children to develop their personalities socially and intellectually at their own pace.
How is it different from mainstream education?
There are many differences between Montessori education and the mainstream sector. They range from the materials found in the classroom to the role of the most fundamental difference is in the view of the purpose of education.
Education policy is still based on the premise that the main purpose of education is the transmission of a prescribed body of knowledge, on a prescribed timetable.
By contrast, Montessori education seeks to nurture the natural development of the child in the belief that a child who has been given the opportunity to develop more fully will be better prepared to learn. It follows the natural tendencies of the child – for example to explore, to be independent, and to persevere and seeks to provide the opportunity for the child to satisfy these needs.
All the recognised skills and subjects are covered in the Montessori curriculum but, because the learning is child driven, the knowledge is surer and child happier and naturally motivated.
