STUDY SKILLS COURSECOURSE OUTLINE

“In the soul of the adolescent great values are hidden, and in the minds of these boys and girls there lies all our hope of future progress”.

MARIA MONTESSORI

“The Academy is inspired by the Montessori philosophy at secondary level. Unlike traditional high schools, which prepare students for further studies; we concentrate on guiding young people to independence and adaptability to make a positive contribution to the modern world and find contentment and worth in themselves and community”.Daniel Landi, Director.
