What is Montessori Inspired Curriculum?
Our commitment to hands-on Montessori materials empowers students to explore and learn through tactile experiences, fostering a deep understanding of foundational concepts. By merging these time-tested methods with a forward-looking STEAM approach, we prepare our students for a dynamic future where creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills are paramount. At Karter Schools, we believe in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are not only academically proficient but also equipped to excel in our ever-evolving world.
