Vision

Living the Montessori Journey is MIR's strategic vision.

MIR strives to exemplify Dr. Maria Montessori's holistic vision of education from birth to adulthood.

We believe that children possess a natural desire to learn and have the ability to absorb all aspects of their culture and civilization without effort or fatigue.

We also believe that, if given the freedom to explore and make choices, children will be self-motivated to learn. This desire to learn through self-discovery will continue through their lifetime.

Trusting in the child's abilities to develop to their full potential through activities that support physical, intellectual, and emotional growth, the school provides an educational program to support its community of students, families, staff, board, and alumni in understanding and respecting the needs of the child.

Through our core values, the school community, both students and adults, fosters the development of global citizens aimed at creating a peaceful world.

The school provides carefully prepared environments in which the academic, social, and spiritual needs of children are fulfilled. Through purposeful activity, students are encouraged to follow their inner rhythms and thus enhance their capacity for exploration and learning. With this learning experience, children become individuals who are more responsible, caring, and respectful.

We call our community's work to achieve this vision "Living the Montessori Journey."
