Weekly activities in the preschool classrooms include arts and crafts, music, movement, alphabet and number activities, science and sensory activities, dramatic play, block play, writing activities, and manipulative toys such as puzzles and peg boards. In both the 3 and 4 year old programs, there is significant emphasis placed on social skills and language skills. The Preschool program at STMM follows the curriculum guidelines developed by the Diocese of Raleigh. Classroom teachers use the teaching methods and activities that they have found to be most effective with their age group as they address each of the curriculum standards set forth by the diocese. The Diocesan Curriculum for Early Childhood Programs includes activities and skills for each developmental area in which children learn and grow. These areas include spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical motor skills. An overview of the Diocesan curriculum guidelines for Early Childhood programs is available on the Raleigh Diocese website. | Applications are available on the Admissions section of our website: www.stmm.net/school.

We believe in giving a child new challenges and experiences when they are ready to successfully understand and complete them while maintaining a healthy self-esteem. Our program is designed to encourage language development, discovery learning, social skills, creativity, and the beginning of the understanding that God loves each of us and that He wants us to love Him and each other.

This school, the Montessori School of Sanford (MSOS), had the honor of growing with and teaching dozens of children in the Sanford, NC area. The Griffin Academy provides children ages 2 through 5th grade with a Montessori inspired learning environment striving to develop an educational foundation for each child that promotes the joy of lifelong learning and discovery. What makes The Griffin Academy a special place are three key elements: governance by a parent-led board who feel it is of vital importance that parents play a key role in their children's education; educators who are dedicated to the ethos that all children should experience learning as an exciting process of discovery; and children who develop self-esteem and respect for others in a learning environment like no other. | http://media.wix.com/ugd/7a4d3a_5104ca31cacf4654a7f364f0b7b925e9.pdf | No | Yes | Yes | |
