The Montessori School at StarCreek in Allen, TX | Children`s and Teens` Education

The Montessori School at StarCreek

Our rich curriculum integrates cooking, gardening, music, art, and Spanish with math, reading, writing, history, botany, zoology, physical science, and geography. We seek to ensure educational quality through small class sizes, low teacher/child ratios, and close communication with parents.
Our faculty and staff members come from all over the world. This diversity translates into a broad range of cultural experiences for our students. Our function is to furnish excellence in the educational field. We want to help young people grow and develop in a way that is most conducive to a happy, healthy life. Laying a foundation for a love of life-long learning is our goal.
About us:
The Montessori School at StarCreek is destined to be the premiere Montessori school in the DFW metroplex. At over 35,000 square feet, the school will feature 17 classrooms as well as numerous rooms dedicated to music, science, and more.
We are firmly committed to Maria Montessori’s approach to learning in our overall program. The Montessori method strives to arouse the child’s interest; to stimulate, and to provide an individualized learning atmosphere. This is the “Prepared Environment” which invites a child to get herself involved and puts her mind in gear. To catch the excitement inherent in discovery, and to know deep down that she did it herself because she felt the need to understand and to conquer a problem, is worth far more to a child’s self-image and development than to respond to never-ending teacher direction.
The main objective of the Montessori School at StarCreek is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment which will help children develop within themselves the foundational habits, attitudes, skills, and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning.

- Put emphasis on the process rather than the product of learning.
