Experience the educational journey through the eyes of a Santa Cruz Montessori student. Participants will find answers to their questions about the Montessori program through their own experience. You will come away with a deeper understanding of Montessori education and it's focus on meeting the developmental needs of the child.

The ‘Journey’ portion happens on Friday and begins with a silent walk through the classrooms where you will have an opportunity to look at the materials and appreciate the beauty of the classroom. Afterward, you will come together as a community to discuss the experience and your observations. On Saturday, you have the opportunity to ‘Discover’ by interacting with the Montessori materials. Learn how the child constructs meaning and how each level is the springboard for the next.

The Journey and Discovery Workshop has been held since 1993. We request that all new families attend this informative and educational experience within their first 18 months at the school.

We will be working with a former SCM parent to produce a short video about the Journey and Discover program. In order to simplify the filming process, we are asking anyone who does not want to be in the video to attend the March session instead. If you have any questions please contact Kim.

Please bring a check to the main office.
