GUIDEPOST MONTESSORI INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN (CHAI WAN)

Journey to independence. The ultimate goal is authentic, holistic independence. This means the knowledge, confidence, creativity, and social ability a child will need in order to choose his own goals, whatever they may be, and pursue them over time. These are the qualities of character and mind that add up, in the end, to a happy and fulfilling adult life. Throughout their journey at Guidepost Montessori, each child gains a piece of this puzzle. Guidepost Montessori programs are designed to support children in taking full advantage of the early years, laying the foundations for a future of limitless possibilities.

Our authentic Montessori program is scientifically structured to nurture children’s growing independence at each stage of development, while being uniquely tailored to your individual child’s needs and interests. In a Guidepost classroom, your child’s activity is driven by her choices, where she’ll take pleasure in mastery of different subjects, and her teachers are trained to observe and guide her exploration of the broad curriculum.

Montessori education supports children's growing independence at every age. This approach helps children develop a fundamental, enduring love of learning and attain the deeply ingrained academic, social, and emotional skills they need to succeed as an adult. Our prepared environment is supportive and inclusive. We take full advantage of the Montessori work cycle, where children choose and organize their own work. Children come to create, understand, structure, and iterate their learning goals – to work both independently and collaboratively – and to persist in critical thinking and creative work. In our mixed-age classrooms for Children’s House, each child practices leadership and responsibility, playing a role as a mentor to younger students, caring for the school environment, and engaging meaningfully to resolve classroom issues.
