Our Beginnings
The executive administrator enrolled her young children in Montessori school and was very pleased with the method used to teach her children and also with their academic progress. She was very interested in finding out more about the way in which her children were learning so she began volunteering as an aid at the school. She was so convinced that children thrive in a Montessori environment that she enrolled in a Montessori training program and earned a Montessori diploma to become a qualified teacher.
When she moved to California, she earned another diploma from International Association of Progressive Montessorians (IAPM-USA) and continued her teaching career. After teaching in a lead position for a period of time, she was promoted to Center Administrator. As a parent, she is convinced that her children excelled throughout their entire academic career due to the strong Montessori education they received as young children. She is a proud parent of three adult children (an engineer, a medical doctor and a Montessori teacher). Her desire to extend the opportunity of a Montessori education to many more families prompted her to start her own school.
Achievements
We are convinced that the strong academic programs and nurturing environment provided by the staff at Discovery World Montessori will enable your children to achieve a higher level of academic success in all future endeavors.
At an early age, our preschool children develop a strong sense of independence, self-confidence and discipline. They learn at their own pace. Children at DWM build cognitive efficacy and learn to order with their five senses using Sensorial Montessori Materials. Our children in Preschool develop rich and precise language. They are able to read and write phonetic words, phonograms, sight words and understand and do mathematical operations like addition, subtraction and Introduction to the Decimal System. They also learn about their cultures – past and present and this allows them to respect and love their environment.
Our Kindergarten graduates develop better communication and language skills, get high scores on their school-readiness tests for 1st grade and develop better social skills.
Discovery World Montessori took the first step to administer the Stanford Achievement Test 10 otherwise known as SAT 10 to our elementary students starting April 25-28, 2011. The SAT 10 encompasses Reading Comprehension which is subdivided into Word Study Skills & Vocabulary Words. Language which covers Composition & Writing. Mathematics both Number Theory & Problem Solving, Science, and Social Science or Social Studies. In comparison to public schools in Diamond Bar and Walnut, they only give Reading Comprehension and Mathematics as a state test.
It is our pride and honor to share that our students took the test with flying colors. Individually and as a group, they got ABOVE AVERAGE AND POST HIGH SCHOOL SCORE rating or PHS. PHS rating is the highest rating that a student can get that is equivalent to a 12th grade academic performance both in public and private schools across California. This is a very clear indication that our academic curriculum is designed with 2-3 yrs advancement and that our students are well equipped with the knowledge to excel in any endeavor they will take.
