what makes casco campus unique?
-
Through our reflective practices, learners acquire an intrinsic appreciation for their education. Children are encouraged to pursue opportunities to learn in all parts of their life, not simply in the situations in which it is required. The result? An incomparable sense of self-awareness that only builds in complexity as children get older.
-
Our approach to education is centered around learner agency and competency based learning. Learners are empowered to take ownership of decisions surrounding their education, resulting in a greater sense of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Our environment is designed to foster this agency through learning portfolios, weekly conferences, and collaborative learning teams with their peers.
-
Following the Planes of Development and the genius of Dr. Maria Montessori’s scientific observations, we support the child’s natural curiosity, creativity, and love for learning. Each child is empowered to embark on their lifelong quest for knowledge. Movement and play are incorporated daily.
-
Mixed-age groups allow children to enjoy their accomplishments rather than compare themselves to others. Children learn to respect others while learning to respect their own individuality. The interaction of children of different ages encourages positive social interaction and collaborative learning.
