The method of education used at MIM follows those principles laid down by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900's, with an open-ended approach that encourages innovation and growth. Learning needs to be integrated, comprehensive, and based on the reality of the child's world. Education experiences must vary in kind and degree in order that each child's unique potential is challenged.
