Our Statement
of Faith provides an enriched academic experience through the Montessori
philosophy in an environment that teaches Christian principles and
the love of Jesus Christ to all.
The foundation of Christian Montessori School at Lake Norman
is respect for each student as a unique individual. Our challenging
and enriched programs are surprisingly flexible and creative in addressing
our children's talents and interests.
Christian Montessori School at Lake Norman
is a place for critical thinking, where children "learn how to
learn". Rather than present students with textbooks and lectures
filled with the "right answers", teachers ask the right
questions, leading the students to discover the answers for themselves.
Learning becomes its own reward, and each success fuels a desire to
discover more.
Christian Montessori School at Lake
Norman encourages parental participation
in the success of the school through it's Parent Teacher Association.
Meeting approximately three times a year, the PTA discusses specific
needs of the school and how they can be addressed through various
committees. Parents are encouraged to join the Christian
Montessori School at Lake Norman PTA by completing
the Christian Montessori School
at Lake Norman PTA Membership Form. Each family has an obligation
of at least 10 volunteer hours per school year. This can be satisfied
by participating in the events/activities sponsored by the PTA.
