Inquiry-Based Learning with a Montessori Approach

Our program is a perfect marriage between the inquiry-based learning process of the IMYC and the self-determined, student-led philosophy of the Montessori Method. Students move through a process of independent and collaborative inquiry to investigate and cultivate skills, knowledge, and understandings. Our Doves co-teaching team has adapted the IMYC units to design a student-led, self-driven process based on the Montessori philosophy, resulting in a smooth transition from the NAMC Montessori curriculum we use from Preschool through Grade 5.
