Montessori Education at FKS
Goals of Montessori:
- Discovering and sustaining our children's identity and providing avenues of self-expression and independence through the methods of Dr. Maria Montessori
- Fostering and encouraging natural curiosity within our students to develop & promote a positive attitude towards school and learning
- Focusing on cognitive development, self-esteem, independence and personal responsibility
Here at the Faithkeepers School, we believe that the combination of Montessori academic methods along with exposure to Seneca culture & the teachings of Gaiwi:yo:h (”The Good Message”) will support optimal development. Our ultimate goal is to prepare the students with a strong Seneca identity and confidence in their individual pursuit of knowledge & education.
The students at FKS are provided a carefully designed learning environment in which they can explore & learn according to their natural inclinations
The classrooms provide specialized areas for study in the following subjects:
Practical Life
Sensorial
Math
Language (including a Seneca language area & Sound Chart)
Geography
Botany/Zoology
Monthly field trips provide new outlets for exploration.
