Montessori Of Maui Inc

The elementary program served 121 students ages 7 thru 12 years old. The program consists of three lower elementary classrooms and two upper elementary classrooms. The program operates from the understanding that an important challenge at this developmental stage is for children to discover their place within a group and within society as a whole. Much of the activity takes place within groups, with children sharing, collaborating and passionately exploring material together. The sounds of debate, discussion, and disagreement fill the elementary classrooms. Our students are encouraged to investigate and fulfill their natural curiosity about the world around them.

The middle school program consists of 18 students ages 12 thru 14 years. Adolescence is a powerful age, an age of explosive growth and change on all levels-physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. Our middle school program recognizes the tremendous power and potential of this age and provides a nurturing academic community, which positively supports and challenges adolescents. The program seeks to satisfy a teenager's commanding needs: the need to work at activities that have meaning and that educate; the need to be involved in social and political relationships; and the need to experience the land. Upon graduation from the middle school, each student is exposed to and well versed in knowledge and skills common to pre-collegiate curriculum.
