John Hanson French
Immersion School's mission is to ensure that all
students acquire knowledge and skills, through speaking,
reading and writing the French language, that will enable
them to become productive citizens and life-long learners.
This will be accomplished through the creation of an
orderly, safe, motivating and challenging environment.
Students' progress will be constantly monitored with
appropriate instructional adjustments made to programs.
Parent and community involvement will be cultivated and
encouraged.
Our philosophy is that all students at John Hanson French
Immersion School will become confident, responsible, capable
learners when an atmosphere rich in culture, motivating
activities, creativity. and organization is provided. We
believe that an inviting learning environment, offered
through the French language, will be conducive to students
developing independent thinking skills, acquiring knowledge,
becoming productive citizens, and realizing their full
potentials. |
The
mission of the John Hanson Montessori family is to
provide an environment that will inspire children to thirst
for knowledge and that will give them the tools, socially
and academically, to build a solid foundation as they
prepare for productive futures.
"Education is a natural
process spontaneously carried out by the human individual,
and is not acquired by listening to words, but by
experiences upon the environment."
Dr. Maria Montessori
For nearly one hundred years, children throughout the
world have been educated with the Montessori method. This
method is based on the observation that children are
naturally motivated to learn. Just as an infant learns to
walk and talk, so too can children naturally learn to read,
write, and do mathematical calculations. Montessori
classrooms are filled with self-teaching materials. From
their daily experiences with these materials, children
"learn how to learn" and develop high levels of self-esteem,
self-confidence, and competence.
In the Montessori program, children receive an education
addressing all aspects of development: intellectual,
emotional, social and physical. Critical thinking and
cooperative learning are part of every lesson. An
atmosphere of respect and dignity is found as each child
receives an individualized approach to instruction. |
