Introducing…the Maria Montessori School Adolescent Programme for 12 – 16 year olds!
Our newly established Montessori Adolescent programme – a “Place of Study and Work” fosters the developing sense of self in students 12 to 16 years through real and meaningful work. The coursework is designed to give students a sense of purpose and belonging as they explore the philosophical questions: Who am I in relation to society? What is my role? What will be my future?
The adolescents are seen here on their Odyssey Trip which takes place at the start of the school year and embraces the idea of a journey of social-emotional growth. The adolescents dive deeply into community life through a ten day camping trip, taking responsibility for all aspects of their daily life, from planning to preparing to cooking to caring for each other. The students’ bond through their collaborative work and their desire to thrive as a member of a unit.
