Dr. Maria Montessori on the cover of Time magazine February 3, 1930<\/p><\/div>\n
Dr. Maria. Montessori, an Italian doctor, scientist, and educator, opened the doors of her first children’s house 109 years ago. Today the Montessori method is the largest pedagogy in the world. \u00a0The long standing success and validity of this method is due to the fact that she viewed education through the eyes of a scientist and\u00a0built her educational model based on human development. \u00a0The increase in popularity of her method may be in part due to the change in the skills needed to be successful in the 21st century workforce.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Our Governor, Nikki Haley, has continued the tradition of recognizing \u201cMontessori Week\u201d by signing the State of South Carolina Governor\u2019s Proclamation.\u00a0\u00a0As we celebrated Montessori across the state and around the world February 22-26, we were able to reflect on the opportunities this educational method offers our students. This amazing\u00a0educational environment fosters critical thinking skills, creativity, analysis of information, collaboration, problem solving, and decision making, while immersing students in a rich curriculum. With an emphasis on the individual child, teachers are able to guide students in developing their individual strengths and help them follow their passions.<\/p>\n
