Description: |
CDSA is centrally located just east of David & Randol Mill intersection
across from CATS Theater. The Montessori program has a strong science
focus and is based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, which
fosters a love of learning, respect or others, personal responsibility
and inner discipline. The Montessori program is designed to develop
culturally literate children and to foster a meaningful degree of
independence, which sets a lifetime of good work habits and sense of
responsibility. |

Teaching philosophy: |
Montessori - Our mission is to educate the whole child;
thus we endeavor to nurture every heart and challenge, every mind through
the experiences of meaningful inquiry. We believe that, when interested in
a topic, a child becomes self-motivated. Self motivation leads to becoming
self-disciplined. |
