In the classroom

Our students

All 30 George Watts' Students who participate in Reading Academy afterschool tutoring through out the year are offered the program.  Any slots still available are offered to other GW students.  Students are all rising 2nd and 3rd graders and the classrooms are multigrade. Multigrade classrooms allow the students to support and help each other, which is one of the key components of Montessori!

Our instructors

Classes are taught by certified George Watts teachers.  Student to teacher ratio is 15:1, giving each student the opportunity to excell. Teachers are supported by a part time instructional facilitator and the program coordinator.  

Our environment

Class is held in large, bright rooms at George Watts Montessori.  We use our school's Edible Garden, Library, and Computer Room as well as the playground to take our learning outside. This allows each student to become more familiar with the resources offered at George Watts!

Delivery of instruction

Teachers use engaging read aloud books to introduce, expand and create interest in each topic covered. After the group read aloud session and discussion, students work independently on materials carefully selected and prepared in order to meet their academic needs. The individual assignments/activities will be marked on each student's workplan and checked by an instructor, allowing students to see their progress!
