Brickton Montessori School Photo #1 - Hands. On.When you can touch it, even complicated ideas becomes manageable. Montessori materials stimulate all our senses. With multiple ways of connecting to a single concept, every child can find a path to successful learning.

Brickton Montessori School Photo #3 - Focus. Group. Sharing ideas and working through challenges together can be the difference between just going to school and being part of a learning community. At Brickton, focused moments of group effort are simply business as usual.
Brickton Montessori School Photo #4 - Eye. Witness. In a world centered at a child’s eye level, big discoveries are an everyday occurrence where a child becomes a scientist, an innovator, an engineer, an educator.
Brickton Montessori School Photo #5 - Floor. Plan. Why limit a classroom to rows of desks? Learning unfolds naturally when a child is physically relaxed and mentally engaged. Sometimes a rug can be the best launching pad.
Brickton Montessori School Photo #6 - Information. Technology. From discovering the technology of a simple machine to creating a multi-media presentation, students build a solid foundation to make sense of our world, using deliberate observation and evaluation of information.
Brickton Montessori School Photo #7 - Human. Resources. Global citizenship begins in the classroom, expanding outward through service learning experiences as our students gain a greater understanding of the diverse world around them.
