We Connect Montessori to the World
​​
"Montessori is an education and a perspective that moves from learning to application through curiosity and creativity. AMI serves as the network and community that applies the principles of Montessori in many aspects of life and living, building upon the approach without compromising its integrity. As such, it is the recognised authority for those interested in applying the Montessori approach at multiple levels—from education to humanitarian causes to research and the broader physical and social environment."

PEAK Montessori Academy is committed to following the principles and standards of AMI, the internationally recognized organization founded by Dr. Maria Montessori and her son, Mario, to protect and uphold the principles and standards of the Montessori approach. ​

The Montessori method encourages independence, freedom within limits. A 2006 study published in the journal "Science” concluded that Montessori students performed better than their standard public school counterparts in a variety of areas, including not only traditional academic areas but in social skills as well. The authors concluded that “Montessori education fosters social and academic skills that are equal or superior to those fostered by a pool of other types of schools.”

Since they have been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem-solvers who can make choices and manage their time well. They have also been encouraged to exchange ideas and to discuss their work freely with others. A strong sense of self-esteem is widely considered a key factor in future success.. Montessori programs help children develop good self-images and the confidence to face life’s challenges.
