About Us

In accordance with the methods of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s) and the Ahlul Bayt (a), Hadi Islamic Montessori maintains a unique approach towards the fulfillment of its mission and objectives, which is to create a social environment that fosters the development of the Islamic worldview and lifestyle. We do not simply consider this as an important strategy, but rather as an essential prerequisite. This means that rather than sufficing with teaching Islamic concepts during school hours, we commit ourselves, our students, and their families to living the noble teachings of Islam at all times. The Islamic philosophy for child-rearing encourages freedom before the age of 7; this coincides with the Montessori learning objectives of encouraging independence and at-will comfort learning.

Organization & Attention to Detail (Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared learning environments, requiring great attention to detail.

What are some techniques you can use to stay organized and pay attention to details in the classroom?)(Required)

Roles & Responsibilities (Observation in a Montessori classroom is a critical component of lesson planning and management of the classroom. An assistant acts as a “second set of eyes,” identifying and recording each student’s activity, learning patterns and duration of engagement.

How do you plan to balance student observations and other responsibilities such as assisting students, preparing materials, etc.?)(Required)
