Middle School - The Institute of Cultural Studies
The Staten Island Montessori is pleased to introduce The
Institute of Cultural Studies, a new middle school
program for September 2005. We continue to follow the
ideals and teachings of Maria Montessori often called an
"Education for Life". Our middle school experience will
provide children with the tools needed to accomplish
their educational goals and objectives.
At the Staten Island Montessori School we recognize the
need for seamless education from preschool through
eighth grade. We are committed to our students by
offering a variety of learning opportunities that
challenge and motivate students to be all they can be.
Global studies, science, language arts, are at the core
of study while culinary arts and gardening offer
authentic learning situations allowing students to
discover through practical
activity and exploration.
Staten Island Montessori School recognizes each student
as an individual and we promote critical thinking
skills, encourage children to be life long learners and
aid in the development of personal self esteem. We
understand that children should engage in meaningful
learning experiences and we provide a curriculum that is
both engaging and challenging. The Institute, while
focusing on global education, will encompass ecological
studies, environmental awareness and peace education.
Summer Camp
Since 1966, Staten Island Montessori School has offered an "Old Fashioned Camp" experience. We provide the
finest counselors, programs and facilities to be found
on Staten Island. Our children are grouped according to
age so they participate in activities with children
their own age range and abilities. Our wide range of
activities is enough to keep the most active child busy.
With the help of thoroughly trained and understanding
instructors, our children participate in sprinklers,
basketball, arts and crafts, ecology, singing and
dancing, barbecue's and field trips
we are dedicated to providing a summer of enjoyment and
varied experiences. There exists, at camp. a warm,
friendly atmosphere generated each and every summer.
