The mission of McMurray Montessori Academy is to create a loving and nurturing environment where the children experience independence, build courage and become successful citizens who contribute positively to the development of the world.

The Montessori Method of education was developed as a curriculum in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and scientist. It is a child-centered education approach that is based on the scientific observation of children from birth to adulthood.

OUR MISSION

The Mission of Fort McMurray Montessori Group of Schools is to advance Montessori education in Fort McMurray, Alberta. F.M.M.G.S aims to offer independent assistance, guidance, educational, professional services and administrative support to all educators, parents and schools keen to learn about Dr. Maria Montessori’s scientific approach to learning and way of life.

Our Vision

Our core vision is to educate students for life. Our focus is to provide a child’s environment that zeroes in on freedom, structure and order, reality and nature, beauty and atmosphere, and a harmonious and intellectual environment. We strive to educate the children to learn more about their identity, their self-independence, self efficacy, their role in the immediate community, the idea of peaceful coexistence and their global obligations as citizens of the world.

WHY FORTMCMURRAY MONTESSORI?

Structure and order

MMA environments emphasize structure and order to represent the sense of structure and order in the universe. By using our Montessori classroom environment as a microcosm, the child adopts the order surrounding them and making sense and realism of the world they live.

Beauty and Atmosphere

Our Guides spend time meticulously arranging every material, furniture and classroom to attain a comfortable, homelike neutral environment. This is designed to attract different interests and attention in learning.

Real and natural objects

Students make use of real objects in learning process. In our classrooms you will find real wood, wooden baskets and metal objects and cotton. We occasionally embark on nature walks where children will pick up natural objects like acorn, leaves and twigs that they can use to enhance their studies.
