Our September Open House: A Silent Journey
““Education is a natural process carried out by the human individual,
and is aquired not by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment.”
”
WHat is a Silent Journey?
Open House at MVCS is a beginning of the year invitation to visit classrooms and take a Silent Journey through the curriculum for the year. It is a parent and caregiver education event where adults walk through the school's classrooms in silence, observing and absorbing the Montessori environment and materials as a child would. This allows parents to experience the learning space, connect with their child's daily experience, and understand the process of self-directed learning before the event concludes with hands-on work with the materials and guided reflection.
