Mt. Lebanon Montessori School Mission Statement

Philosophy:

Mt. Lebanon Montessori allows bright, curious children to take ownership of their education, gaining a love for lifelong learning on the way.
By giving children — from infancy through the elementary school years — the autonomy to pursue their interests and motivations in a healthy, controlled environment, MLM transforms students into:

• Engaged Learners
  Exploring at their own pace: MLM students develop a passion for learning and individual growth that lasts throughout their lives. They understand that success is defined through progress, not necessarily a grade or test score.
• Confident Individuals
  Developing their own values:
  Students not only gain academic skills, but also a strong sense of self as they develop focus and concentration, collaboration and independent thinking. Each child feels valued and respected as their own person.
