ABOUT MONTESSORI SCHOOL OF REGINA

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., established in 1971, is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to child-centered learning that helps each student reach their potential. We offer Pre-Primary Programs that operate as licensed childcare facilities regulated by the Ministry of Early Years in Saskatchewan, serving children aged 2.6 to 5 years across three campuses in Regina. Our Elementary Programs for students in Grades 1 to 8 function as a Qualified Independent School in the south end of Regina. As an alternative school, the Montessori School of Regina strives to create a respectful and peaceful environment where students can nurture their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong independent learning.

Mission

The Montessori School of Regina, Inc., strives to create a respectful, peaceful Montessori community, where students can nurture and grow their unique talents and develop a foundation for lifelong, independent learning.

Vision

To make our school as the community’s choice for Montessori learning experience in Regina.

At Montessori School of Regina, we embrace four core values that shape our community and guide our approach to education:

Independence

Encouraging self-directed learning and fostering confidence in children to make their own choices.

Education

Providing a holistic, child-centered environment that nurtures intellectual, social, and emotional growth.

Diversity

Celebrating the uniqueness of every individual and building a community that values inclusivity and cultural richness.

Respect

Promoting kindness, empathy, and mutual respect in all interactions, creating a harmonious learning environment. These values reflect our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, compassionate individuals.

MONTESSORI PHILOSOPHY

Montessori School of Regina, Inc. adheres to the unique educational method, based upon scientific observations set out a century ago by Dr. Maria Montessori. She observed children’s almost effortless ability to absorb knowledge from their surroundings, as well as their tireless interest in manipulating materials. The Montessori philosophy aims at developing this desire to learn by children, using their natural curiosity and love of knowledge. They are able to learn and acquire an ‘inner discipline’ free of the need for external reinforcements. They teach themselves.

To educate the whole child, Dr. Montessori felt the child must have the freedom to learn at his or her own pace and in an individualized and self-directed manner. The Montessori teachers guide the child’s energies into constructive learning channels, taking into account the differences in learning styles and pace. The environment is specially prepared to encourage directed, independent learning. This is the core of the Dr. Montessori educational philosophy.

THE MONTESSORI METHOD

Learning progression and appropriate materials and lessons are all part of adhering to the Montessori method first created by the acclaimed Dr. Maria Montessori. Based on this time-tested approach to development, students are introduced to practical life skills, language, math, social sciences and sensorial skills, during a three-year educational progression.

PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS

Practical Life exercises help to instill care for self, others, and the environment. Activities include many of the tasks children see as part of the daily routine in their home, such as pouring, buttoning, sorting, along with exercises of grace and courtesy. Through these tasks, children develop muscular coordination, enabling movement and exploration of their surroundings. They learn to work at a task from beginning to end, and to develop their powers of control and concentration.

LANGUAGE

In Montessori classrooms, reading is taught with the ‘phonetic’ method – learning the sounds of the letters in preparation for reading and word building. We use the combination of the Alphabet phonics lessons and the Montessori language approach. When ready, students participate in a Reading and Writing program.

MATH

Early Math activities help children learn and understand number concepts by manipulating tactile materials. This work gives children a solid understanding of basic mathematical principles, prepares them for later abstract reasoning, and helps to develop problem-solving capabilities.

SOCIAL SCIENCES

Our Social Sciences curriculum explores the areas of science, social studies, geography, art and history. Children are exposed to a rich, stimulating variety of work through hands-on learning. Working with the cultural materials help children become aware that they are part of the greater family of humanity.

SENSORIAL

Sensorial Materials serve as tools for development. Children build cognitive skills, and learn to order and classify impressions by touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, listening, and exploring the physical properties of their environment.

PROGRAMS

Maria Montessori said, “Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.” At Montessori School of Regina, we believe in holistic education that fosters independence, diversity, and respect. We believe in the child’s natural ability to wonder and explore the World around them. Providing an educational experience where every child can develop who they were made to be!

PRE-PRIMARY

Our Pre-Primary programs, starting at the age of 2.6 years, are offered at our three campuses, which are licensed childcare facilities under the Ministry of Early Years: Pasqua campus (3515 Pasqua St.), Hillsdale campus (3913 Hillsdale St.), and Mayfield campus (101 Mayfield Rd.). We also cater to kindergarten-age children, offering the program five days a week in accordance with the school calendar at each campus.

Under the direction of a Montessori head educator and an educational assistant, the children explore Montessori areas: Practical Life, Sensorial, Cultural/Science, Math, and Language.

The Pre-Primary program is individualized to meet the unique needs of every student, providing them with free choice and movement throughout the classroom. Our program offers Montessori materials, engaging activities, vibrant art projects for creativity and exploration,and a music program once a week. We believe in the importance ofdeveloping the whole child: physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, andcreative.

ELEMENTARY

Our Elementary program is offered from grades 1 to 8. The Elementary Program is divided into three multi-grade classrooms – Lower Elementary (grades 1-2), Middle Elementary (grades 3-5), and Senior Elementary (grades 6-8). Our elementary programs are based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s observations on the second plane of development. During this stage of growth, students aged six to twelve are innately learning socialization, reasoning, peer identity, and moral development.

By following the Saskatchewan Curriculum and Guidelines, students engage in a personalized learning experience that accommodates their unique needs and interests. The Montessori approach encourages independence, choice, and collaborative learning, promoting the development of the whole child through thematic exploration and cosmic education. Progress is monitored through regular report cards and parent-teacher interviews, ensuring open communication about each child’s development.

Today people around the world people are celebrating World Kindness Day! 🌎💕

World Kindness Day was started in 1998 by the World Kindness Movement to promote and celebrate acts of kindness. Their mission is to “inspire individuals and connect nations to create a kinder world”.

At the MSR Elementary Campus, we decided to spread as much kindness as we could today. Each child wrote a kind word or phrase on a paper link, and we attached them all together to create a massive school-wide kindness chain. We also took time to talk about why it is important to be kind and how we can show kindness in our school, our community, and our world.

Thank you to our students for working every day to make the world a kinder place!

WHAT FAMILIES SAY ABOUT US

We feel privileged to have the opportunity to send our children to Montessori School of Regina for Pre-Primary. Our daughter attended even before the school became a licensed childcare facility, and we can confidently say it was worth every penny. She has grown to think outside the box, exudes confidence, demonstrates kindness, and works hard. Now, with our youngest, we feel even more fortunate to send him to MSR with the support of childcare fees, while still receiving the same high-quality care and programming. Thank you to all the educators and staff at MSR for the incredible care and teaching you’ve provided to our children!

- Bonus Family, a part of the MSR community since 2021
