It’s essential that children learn to be independent to be fully rounded adults. Tony Gillespie is the adolescent program deputy principal at Rockingham Montessori School, an educational bastion that fosters independence in youngsters of all ages.
The school has programs for infants and toddlers to high school students and offers alternative pathways for young adults ranging from university and straight-to-work options for transitioning. Tours can be arranged and the learning environment offers multiple options for youngsters before and after school and during holidays to accommodate a wide range of requirements.
Children learn best when their imaginations are stimulated and the Montessori school Perth encourage independence, self-discipline, respect, and self-reliance in age appropriate ways. Students have ample opportunity to follow their own interests, experiment and explore a full range of the arts while obtaining a first class academic education.
Developing independence is critical for a child’s emotional maturity, to enhance their social skills, and learning how to make positive decisions. They’re life skills that will serve them well as adults. The independent school Perth provides students with a comprehensive array of educational opportunities that foster learning and independence within a structured environment.
Independence enhances a child’s self-esteem and that’s true at every age. It prepares them to manage their successes and cope with failure and stress. It also provides them with the opportunity to discover areas where they excel and where they may have special talents they may want to pursue.
The school offers a Primary Program for ages 6-12, Upper Primary studies for ages 9-12, and an Adolescent Program for ages 12-18. Graduates can choose to further their education with university, through vocational training, internships, or transition directly into the work force.
Rockingham schools offer a first rate academic education, multiple pathways for success, and an environment that nurtures each child on an individual basis according to their own unique needs and talents at every stage of their development. Classes are taught by highly-qualified educational professionals that understand the essential value of independence and preparing youngsters for taking their place in a global society.
