Enrichment Programs
Spanish, as Second language
Decatur Montessori School has native Spanish speakers that speak Spanish to children. This enables children to be exposed to a 2nd language. Special Spanish camps are also organized during summer. Studies have shown that children with a second language score higher on standardized tests and adapt better to different cultures and their surroundings. In addition, learning a second language gives children an added advantage as they grow and compete in an increasingly challenging world.
Soccer
Soccer sessions are conducted on the school playgrounds once a week for Primary as well as older Toddler communities. Structured physical exercises like Soccer enable children to express themselves in sports field. It also helps in building discipline, team spirit, leadership apart from chiseling objectivity.
“Lily used to be so quiet and dingy. I tried socializing her at different parks, play dates, the pool and Sunday school. She would always try to hide behind me and would only play while watching other kids tentatively. Decatur Montessori brought her out of her shell and made her independent.”
