SILENT JOURNEY

Silent Journey is an opportunity to experience the environment as your children do. You will take lessons, practice work, make mistakes, correct mistakes, and gain an understanding of the scope and sequence of all areas of the curriculum at all levels.  The Cornerstone faculty will guide participants through a two-part hands-on Montessori experience with Montessori materials and some philosophical discussion of the approach from Toddler House through the Junior class. This is a parent education event unlike any other.  

“We did the stamp game today!” You hear your child exclaim about similar mysterious materials, such as the Racks and Tubes or the Metal Insets, and you want to learn more.  You’ve come to curriculum nights, you’ve read a few books from the Cornerstone lending library, but you want a deeper, clearer, and more significant understanding of your child’s daily experience in a Montessori environment.  You’d like to be able to explain more confidently to friends and family why you’ve chosen a Montessori school for your child, and just what makes Cornerstone a very special place to learn and grow.

You will find out through a firsthand experience how and what your child experiences when engaged in the work of the Montessori curriculum.  This unique experience will allow you to come away with a greater understanding and clearer view of Montessori at Cornerstone.
