The American Montessori Society states:
“Montessori teachers know that children learn more by touching, seeing, smelling, tasting, and exploring than just by listening. Teacher training prepares them to create dynamic interactive learning environments that encourage each child to reason, cooperate, collaborate, negotiate, and to understand.”

In addition to teaching Montessori philosophy; Acorn uses Wonders, a traditional curriculum that focuses on phonics, and reading in Kindergarten through 6th grade, and Study Sync in 7th and 8th grade. Acorn also uses Into Math for our math resources and curriculum Kindergarten through 8th grade. Additionally, our K-8 Science curriculum is Saavas. These curriculums are combined within a low teacher-to-student ratio. In addition to these curriculums, all classes utilize Arizona state standards to also teach social studies, digital literacy, technology, art, music, and more. Students “experience” their studies by participating in many field trips to explore science and the arts.
