I am a previous student of Creative Learning Montessori School. The school is open to any person starting from infancy to 6th grade. I have always loved Creative Learning because it gave me a feeling where everything worked together and I could feel a connection. At CLMS there is a special connection and bond between students, teachers, parents, and peers. I attended the school from 2005-2011 which was kindergarden to 5th grade, it taught me the ways to be a creative thinker, prepared speaker, open talker, and compassionate person.
*Creative Thinker:*
Creative Learning Montessori follows the philosophy of Maria Montessori who studied theoretical and moral philosophies. At CLMS they show your child that you don't need to think the normal way as everyone else does. You can be whoever you want to be, go in your own direction. Because of the schools close knit culture between teachers and students, any child attending CLMS is comfortable with speaking to there teacher and telling them who they are as a person.
*Prepared Speaker:*
I have learned from Creative Learning that a person that wants to give information to others needs to be a good leader and know how to present something to others. A prepared speaker needs to challenge themselves to receive the information, write out there information, and present there information. CLMS has taught me how to be a prepared speaker and challenge myself to a full potential where I can say I gave it my all.
*Open Talker:*
I know when I see a young child talking to an adult it can be extremely impressive. A lot of students of schools across the world have issues with talking to others but CLMS gets you out of the shy state of mind. Teachers are also open to hearing your child's thoughts and know they are capable of achieving almost anything they want to pursuit.
*Compassionate Person:*
Compassionate person is the last thing I wanted to share about because it was one of the greatest things I have taken out of Creative Learning. Each teacher believes in peace, studying and thinking about kindness is one of the most powerful topics you can learn at Creative Learning. Although academics are obviously a big result in your child's future so is compassion. In Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary you start to write about virtues. You can write an example of a virtue, draw a picture, or just write about what it is. If you think about these all the time you will use them in the future and people will think of you as a more virtuous person leading you to a success at life.
Creative Learnings academics and close relationships have taught me to lead my own life and advance in things I love. At Creative Learning Montessori School its ok to fall behind, you just need to get back on your feet, and if your ahead thats great, your teacher will lead you on to an even further advanced topic. The school has a no grade policy and does not work with a lot of test. Your child will be challenged if they use their time wisely in school. The philosophy of Creative Learning has taught me so much and I love what the school has to offer.
