Vision
The vision of the middle school program is to prepare adolescents for adult life. Valorization, the sense of pride that adolescents have when they begin to find their place in society, occurs when students produce and contribute something of value. Through real-life experiences, exposure, practice, and feedback from adults and their peers, adolescents start the journey of finding their place in this world. The middle school program at VMS is a hybrid of traditional school and Montessori education for 7th and 8th graders. The students are in the program for a total of two years. Lessons are designed keeping Georgia State Standards in mind while implementing Montessori methods and techniques.
The primary goal to reach our vision is to offer children a positive and influential education in a healthy environment. Providing children with a positive working environment where healthy relationships are formed, including relationships between teachers in the classroom, will strengthen their social skills and overall social-emotional health. The students who graduate from Village Montessori School will be independent, confident, and capable individuals who have been prepared for their next stage of development, adulthood. They will be confident critical thinkers and problem solvers who demonstrate Montessori’s concept of grace and courtesy.
The teams of teachers, specialists, experts, and administrators at VMS have designed a prepared environment that provides opportunities for meaningful work. This environment includes a classroom, in which the students feel comfortable and able to work as well as our outdoor spaces. In addition, the environment goes beyond the VMS campus and into the surrounding cities where students can explore and have exposure to a variety of communities, aiding in their social independence and preparing them for the adult world.
