" What is the Montessori?
Within a Montessori classroom, inspiring children to learn is approached in many non-traditional ways. Children are allowed to experience the excitement of learning by their own choice rather than by force. Consequently, learning is highly individualized, often with a hands-on approach. Dr. Montessori also believed in a vertical classroom. This allows children in a three-year age span to receive instruction together. Benefits of a vertical classroom are many. They include the opportunity for younger children to observe and practice behavior and skills modeled by older children. Older children have the opportunity to mentor younger children, therefore crystallizing their learning process. Knowledge is attained at the child’s pace, not the teacher’s. This promotes the maximization of future learning opportunities.

Our Location
Opening its doors in 2014, Grasslands Montessori Academy is the “dream child” of former Montessori student, Melissa Farnsworth, and a result of the collaborated efforts between mother and daughter to provide another option for the education of children to the families of the Dickinson, ND area.
