Education is not the amount of information that we put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas. If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library
Swami Vivekananda

Our Philosophy

Samskruthi Montessori School draws on the philosophy & educational methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an educator, and visionary who devoted a major part of her life to conducting studies on children and the importance of the absorbent mind. The Montessori approach involves creating a learning environment that nurtures a child’s innate desire to work, explore and learn by providing them freedom within limits. This method would allow children to grow physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively

Montessori education offers children the opportunity to learn by doing and to develop skills at their own pace.

Why Montessori?

A child is born without the ability to speak or to take care of himself but within the first three years of his life through the use of his senses, he gathers the information he needs to develop, to “create and construct” himself. He gathers naturally without thinking.

Impressions do not merely enter his mind; they form it “ The Absorbent Mind.”

Maria Montessori

The Absorbent Mind

Montessori broke the Absorbent Mind down into two phases: the unconscious (from 0-3 years old) & the conscious (from 3-6 years old). During the 0-3 year period, the child unknowingly gathers impressions from his environment, begins to develop the “self-concept” and life skills, such as independence. During a 3-6 year period, the child is consciously taking in his environment, not with new impressions but seeking ways to give order to or to create a system for, those impressions gathered unconsciously during the prior period of development.

Developing Independence through Practical Life

These lessons inspire the child with real-world, purposeful tasks and tools, helping him see himself, correctly, as capable and competent. They give a child the opportunity to take on meaningful work that he can complete independently while developing concentration.

Developing the Scientific Mind Through the Sensorial Materials

Children this age use their senses to explore the world. They enjoy the beautiful sensorial materials and learn to compare and contrast, to discern slight differences, and to place things in order. These materials allow a child to develop mastery over his observational powers: the sensorial mastery of the scientist, the artist, the mathematician.

Language: Reading and Writing Joyfully

The Montessori approach to language study makes learning appear effortless because it recognizes the individuality of each child. Your child will first be introduced to a rich and varied vocabulary, and will later analyze words into sounds. He will then learn to associate each phonetic sound with its corresponding letter, and trace the letter to internalize the movements made in writing.

Mathematical Fluency

Your child will gradually move from performing mathematical operations with concrete objects to the pure abstraction of numbers on a page. In your child's mind, basic mathematical understanding will become intuitive, and grounded firmly in concrete reality.

The Gurukul System of Education

Samskruthi Montessori School is an initiative towards laying out an engaging and interactive learning environment incorporating the philosophy of Maria Montessori and the rich traditions of our country.
