The Montessori School of Winston-Salem

When I visit the classroom I am always amazed at how quiet it is and how diligently the children work without constant prompting from the teacher.  The first thing my child tells anyone when they ask how he likes his school is, "There are no bullies at my school," and there really aren't.  It's a peaceful educational environment.  The children learn to do for themselves rather than asking for an adult to do everything for them.  They solve their problems amongst themselves, without arguing or tattling.  Academically they are far advanced beyond public schools without high pressure to achieve this; it's just that the children are allowed to go at their own pace, not having to wait for everyone else to catch up, when they get a concept they move on.
