Montessori At Sandy Ford

Montessori at Sandy Ford stands as a beacon of learning, nurturing the potential of children from ages 3 to 14 in the Greater Hickory Area since 1981. Guided by the timeless philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, we cultivate a vibrant community where children can discover their unique voices and embark on extraordinary journeys of intellectual, emotional, and social growth.

Our Philosophy and Approach

Our curriculum adheres to the core principles of the Montessori method, fostering natural curiosity, independence, and a love for learning. Within our prepared environment, children learn through exploration, discovery, and hands-on experiences. Guided by experienced and nurturing guides, they delve into academic concepts, explore their artistic talents, and cultivate essential life skills.

Early Childhood Education (Ages 3-6)

In our early childhood program, the focus is on fostering a sense of wonder and discovery. Through practical activities, exploration of the senses, and age-appropriate lessons, children learn fundamental skills in language, math, science, and social interactions.

Elementary and Middle School Education (Ages 6-14)

As children transition into elementary and middle school, they are encouraged to engage in inquiry-based learning. Guided by passionate teachers, they delve into diverse topics, solve problems, and collaborate with peers. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking, analytical skills, and a love of exploration.
