"Help me to do it myself"
Delftse montessorischool is a small school located in Delft. As a Montessori school, it follows Maria Montessori principals. Maria Montessori created a general philosophy and approach learning. The basic principle is that a child has a natural desire for self-fulfillment. Therefore, teachers must make sure to provide a safe environment and materials that enable the pupils to develop.
As the teachers plan the lesson based on children’s interests, pupils are active in the classroom. Even if this method is focus on the individual, there is no individual education.
The schedule is not divided into the tradicional school hours, instead they use periods of time in which all the students are working at the same time doing the same job. This schedule allows them to work or collaborate in the tasks that they have planned and they do not have any interruptions. It is easier to concentrate and pupils tend to get less distracted.
