The Montessori Pedagogical Model

Knowledge should not be introduced into children's minds. On the contrary, with the existing information, children should perceive the knowledge because of their own reasoning.
-María Montessori

Group 24 (1)

Through its Pedagogical Model, the School articulates the processes of teaching, learning, and evaluating with "the formation of being for life", promoting a permanent significant relationship between the meaning of education, pedagogy, and academics with the life itself that is lived within it.

Basic premises of the formation at the Colegio Montessori

There are several premises that guide the educational action of the school, but all of them are chained in the conception of education as a process of humanization whose goal is "to be more in every sense".

In this perspective, the great responsibility is to "train for life, to assume that what a boy or girl will be in the future depends firstly on the affection and devotion of their parents, secondly on the intervention of their teachers, for which, each moment of the student's development is recognized and from this, different interventions are made with the purpose of promoting and accompanying their integral formation.

In this formative task, the axes that underlie the Model and that give an answer to the question of how education at Colegio Montessori is? are based on a group of learning processes.
