Maria Montessori believed that the root of peace lies in the education of our children. Only when children are intentionally taught global citizenship, respect for diversity, and personal responsibility will they have the strength to refuse to follow false information and calls for violence blindly....



Elementary I students have started their exciting clay program. Students are learning about Native American pottery, traditions, the arts, and culture. This week they created pots in terra cotta clay, and are learning a variety of hand building techniques.





In Artland today, Elementary II students created paintings inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, a Russian painter and art theorist.





Children's House made snowflakes during art today! #artland #childrenshouse #preschool #kindergarten #duxbury





Some Middle School students added their own touch to the MS decor.

“The exercises of Practical Life are formative activities, a work of adaptation to the environment. Such adaptation to the environment and efficient functioning therein is the very essence of a useful education.” - Maria Montessori #BayFarmToddlerHouse

Mike Barrett of Exploration Photography has put together class photos for our students to enjoy!

Sandpiper students playing the exchange game... "This activity is designed to teach exchanging 10’s. They exchange units, tens, hundreds to get the thousand cube. We have no winners or losers... We have who got the Thousand Cube first and the second player gets a turn to get the cube too."
