Great teachers do more than simply follow a curriculum or provide care; they create an environment that fosters love for learning and exploration. At Wheaton Montessori School, our exceptional teachers are internationally certified professionals, holding master's degrees and possessing over 20 years of experience. They nurture each child's unique journey, supporting their discovery and passion for lifelong learning.
Wheaton Montessori School teachers:
- Nurture Well-Rounded Individuals
Go beyond the basics to develop essential skills for real life—complex reasoning, creativity, citizenship, and communication.
- Teach Beyond the Basics
Foundational skills are important, as are critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and adaptability.
- Make it Unforgettable
We’re not training students to memorize; instead, we encourage them to apply knowledge and enhance their understanding through real-world experiences. This distinction highlights the difference between merely learning something and actively using it.
- Develop Thinkers, Not Just Doers
Foster both creative and critical thinking, skills that fuel innovation, agility, and long-term adaptability.
- Provide Actionable Feedback
Give timely, meaningful feedback that helps students adjust, practice, and improve their performance.
- Utilize Scientific Observations to make Informed Decision Making
Assess student performance rigorously to understand each learner’s position, defining next steps through research-backed techniques.
- Focus on Effective Solutions
Break down issues to identify core challenges and implement strategies that create a significant impact. No fluff—just targeted execution.
- Invest in People Skills
Build social intelligence through collaboration, communication, and emotional intelligence—essential abilities in any startup or fast-moving team.
- Teach the Skills that Matter
Class communities need to learn how to reflect, solve problems, write, pitch ideas, collaborate, and think big. These skills are essential for fostering entrepreneurship.
- Measure Real-World Readiness
We focus on students' real-world readiness and what they can achieve with their learning. This is how we build futures.
Authentic Montessori education at Wheaton Montessori School is structured around childhood stages and innate drives. Instead of imposing limits on curriculum, all of our internationally certified teachers respect and reinforce the natural unfolding of each child’s abilities, which opens up students to surpass grade-level basics. Montessori learning environments are carefully prepared by these highly-specialized teachers to meet developmental needs, and the adult’s role shifts from teacher to someone who serves as an aide to life. Teachers are guides who always assess students, maintain engaging and complete classrooms, and support students individually to discover, grow, and thrive every day.
