Spring Open House at Schoolhouse Montessori Academy of Farmington Hills

Schoolhouse Montessori Academy of Farmington Hills will host an open house on Sunday, April 29 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at its location on 29230 W. 12 Mile Road, for prospective families who are interested in obtaining information about the programs available at the school.

 “Individual learning, the quiet environment and the teacher’s approach to the children in the Montessori classroom are impressive to me,” said Mrs. Williams, teacher assistant. “Montessori education is different from the traditional school that I was used to. I was wowed by the maturity and independent level of the children.” 

The Montessori Method is over 100 years old and is used in classrooms all over the world. “One of the interesting things about Montessori is that regardless of whether you are in a classroom in the United States, India, England, or Japan you will see the same materials on the shelves,” said Doron Vergun, Admissions Coordinator at the school. “It is a global way of learning.”
