Montessori in the Park
Exciting News for Montessori in the Park - MIP has received the Small Business award from the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce.
To create a community within the school, Montessori in the Park (MIP) has consolidated two campuses into one. This campus is located at 1832 N. Litchfield Road in Goodyear, Arizona.
This single campus brings children ages 3-12 together in one learning environment. Our goal is to provide the highest quality Montessori education possible with a strong emphasis on academics in a nurturing, child-centered, creative environment.
MIP offers AM and PM preschool classes as well as a multi-grade elementary program. Although our school is new, our teachers are not. Our teachers hold Montessori teaching credentials through either AMS (American Montessori Society) or AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) and have combined teaching experience of thirty plus years.
MIP is a non-profit, independent school. The vision for the school began in 2006 when the founders created a program to continue the nurturing of their children's love of learning from the preschool level and beyond.
Celebrating MIP:
-
MIP has 115 students and 12 staff. This gives us a teacher to student
ratio of 8 to 1. Contrast that to 25-30 to 1 in a typical classroom. -
The family-like setting of the MIP classroom fosters a nurturing, positive environment producing confident, independent, community-minded
citizens. -
Our older children mentor the younger ones, helping them to become
great leaders. -
MIP celebrates the individuality of the whole child by providing unique educational opportunities; our children garden, cook, sew, are
environmentally aware and practice peaceful conflict resolution.
The best part of the MIP experience is that our students grow at their own pace without sacrificing academic excellence.
