Our Programs | Montessori Areas of Study | Evaluation Methods

Evaluation Methods for Montessori student are different than those of traditional educational institutions.

Casa Evaluations

There are no grades given to the Casa students in the form of a report card. Each child's assessment is based on the individual portfolio created by the child and his/her teacher's observation and record keeping.

Elementary Evaluations

The Elementary students receive three report cards a year, a November Parent-Teacher Interview and there is also an optional Spring Interview.

The Parent-Teacher Relationship

Keeping parents informed to their child's progress is very important to us. We encourage a strong parent-teacher relationship to maximize all the positive aspects of the child's school experience.

Parent Nights are organized throughtout the year to privide the parents with information about the Montessori curriculum, materials and activities in the classroom.

Observations and Interviews

Twice a year, parents are invited into the classroom to observe their children while they work followed by an informal Parent-Teacher Interview.
