architectural ideas

planes of learning

prepared environment

scale / development

in a montessori school, children do not progress through in a linear way, but rather in planes. younger children learn from older and the process is repeated.

every material in the classroom has a specific place that every student must return used items to. shelving is organized with labels and containers to maintain a neat environment.

an adult environment is large and uncomfortable for young children. everything from the furniture to the windows and door handles should be scaled to the size of the growing children.

seeds of interest

freedom / community

adaptable environment

the classroom environment is full of “seeds of interest”. These include materials, stories told by the teacher, books, communication with other students, etc.

children are encouraged to explore their environments inside and outside the school, which encourages learning without force.

children can manipulate their environment to transform their classroom into a space of their own.
