Our Philosophy
Stellar Montessori academy is a STEAM-based Montessori school. We cater to children 2 – 6 years old. We integrate STEAM-based lessons and activities with the Montessori curriculum. Our students benefit from the Montessori method of learning along with STEAM-based learning. Our basic goal is to teach our students the curriculum based on the Common Core for their grade level, but at Stellar Montessori Academy, we go beyond.
STEAM in a Montessori School?
We integrate STEAM instilled concepts into our program. Our children spend part of the day working on language lessons like phonics, word building, reading and writing. They also work on basic math skills, such as recognizing numbers, counting, addition and more. They work on geography using Montessori materials, such as continent maps, and international flags. The students at SMA work on engineering, science, and technology projects. They explore, ask questions and learn new concepts every day.
