“Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.”

Dr. Maria Montessori

Mission Statement

Westside Montessori Academy’s mission is to provide a safe, supportive educational environment that will nurture every child’s natural curiosity for learning. We are committed to providing the tools, the guides and the prepared environment necessary, to allow each child to reach his or her full potential both socially and academically.

Principles

    • Every child is a unique person.
    • All children instinctively want to develop their skills and understanding
    • Children learn through discovery.
    • Children are capable of self-directed learning
    • Children are encouraged to work at their own pace, either individually or in co-operation with others.
    • Mixed age groups provide opportunities for the children to develop their social abilities and leadership skills.

  • What I love the most about WMA (being a public school teacher) is that its program takes account of the needs, talents, gifts, and special individuality of each child and as a result, no one is constrained or criticised for what they do. — Susan parent at WMA
