embrace the Montessori
pedagogy, which is based on
universal principles of child
development, as sound theory
and practice for teaching
and learning. And we look
to accepted current research
to inform our evolving
understanding of human
development. Recognizing the
many differences in learning
rates and styles, we believe in
individualizing each child’s
school experience for the
fullest development of his or
her potential. We embrace the
concept of a multi-age, 3 years
age span classroom community
as optimum for academic,
social and emotional learning.

We value cooperation over
competition and believe that
each child’s work and behavior
should be evaluated on his or her
inherent capacity rather than by
comparison. Our Montessori Tradition:
Since its founding in 1961,
Aidan has remained centered
and steadfast in its mission as
a Montessori school. Over the
years, Dr. Maria Montessori’s
ideas have had a profound
effect and growing influence on
education. However, while
individual elements find their
way into traditional programs,
a fully implemented Montessori
model is so comprehensive in
scope and sequence that it is
quite distinct. Aidan represents
such an academic model and
offers it as a clearly optimum
environment for learning, for
preparation for the future, and
for developing the necessary
skills and dispositions for
citizenship in a democratic
society. Open House Dates:
