[edit] Dr. Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870. Maria was a woman far ahead of her time and became the first woman to be granted a diploma as a certified physician in Italy. She became the first female doctor in Italy. As a scientist and physician, she was curious and willing to experiment and to seek answers to questions not previously considered. In later years, she became an educator and anthropologist. Studying children in all conditions throughout the world, she discovered universal principles underlying the development of all children. She stressed the need to change our attitudes about children and their treatment.
The Montessori curriculum is focused on the process and issues of science: the study of life, the laws and structure of the universe, and how humanity has struggled throughout history to put our understanding to practical use. At the same time, we seek to captivate the mind of each child and fill her with a sense of wonder at the grandeur of the universe, the simple beauty of the physical laws, and the miracle of life. To inspire within a child deep sense of the philosophy of science as the process through which humanity has built up our little store of knowledge-asking questions, observing systematically, collecting and analyzing data, and controlled experiments-is to prepare the child for a lifetime of learning.
Dr. Montessori recognized the value of her discoveries and truly believed that she had discovered much more than an educational theory. She saw a vision of a new world where children who grew up in an atmosphere of peace and respect extended that attitude into adult life.
There are various phases through which a human being grows through his life as he grows from a child to an adult.
To have the knowledge of these phases in mind and their related psychological factors is essential for imparting good education.
After this, he steps into this world either as one amongst others or one different from others. This depends upon what education we impart to them and how we are able to unleash their potential.
The Montessori classroom prepares its students for each successive developmental plane, allowing them to take responsibility for their own education making choices, changing and becoming unique human beings. In our system of education, we believe that learning is a continuous process and that parents, teachers and students are all partners to learning. CMS has been trying to follow the Montessori pattern of teaching to the best possible extent in the Indian environment.
