Mission and Core Values

 

“Education should no longer be mostly imparting knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentials.”
Maria Montessori

Montessori de Terra Linda (MdTL) is a diverse community of teachers, parents and children working together for the education of the child, utilizing the methods of Maria Montessori. We serve children ages 2-12, providing a rich learning environment based upon the belief that all children can reach their personal and academic potential.

We believe that the genuine cooperation of parents, students and educators creates an effective, highly successful experience. By engaging with and applying our core values, we work to develop responsible and caring students who are self-motivated and who respect themselves, their peers and their surroundings.

Our Core Values:

• We share a respect for self, others, our world and our environment.
• We teach students independence, critical thinking, social grace and courtesy.
• We strive to instill in our students a love of learning.
• We teach students through hands-on, individualized experiences.
• We believe all adults in our community are role models.
