NEW DISCOVERIES MONTESSORI ACADEMY
About School District: New Discoveries Montessori Academy’s primary purpose is to improve pupil learning. This purpose will be achieved in the following ways:
Increased Learning Opportunities
New Discoveries Montessori Academy increases learning opportunities for students by providing another choice in elementary education in the Hutchinson Area. This choice is grounded in the Montessori philosophy and pedagogy. This is especially desirable for those students that attend the local Montessori preschool and would like to continue their educational studies in that model.
Through the use of the Montessori materials, students will receive hands-on learning experiences where children touch, make discoveries, and deeply understand complex concepts. The materials allow concrete understanding of concepts helpful for understanding abstract principles, are self-teaching and self-correcting, have multiple levels of challenge and can be used at different developmental levels. New Discoveries Montessori Academy designs classrooms utilizing the direction of the Montessori “prepared environment”.
We believe that the larger community is officially part of our classroom environment. Field trips, also called “Going Out”, are a vital part of children’s personal, social, and intellectual development. Small groups of children plan and go on supervised trips all around our greater community.
With Audubon Center of the North Woods, our sponsor, there are many environmental applications for our students. They offer residential environmental education experiences to schools with a full array of adventure programming including a wildlife barn, maple syruping shack, ropes course, hiking explorations, and wall climbing. Students at New Discoveries Montessori Academy participate in these unique environmental experiences.
