Library

Our Library

The library is an integral part of the educational process at Providence Montessori School. It is a link to, and an extension of, the Montessori classroom curriculum.  Students have weekly library time during which grade appropriate lessons are given on how to locate, evaluate, and effectively use information.  Providence is fortunate to have an extensive library collection which reflects an appreciation for the written word.  Within our collection, there is representation of different cultures, ethnic backgrounds, and religious beliefs.


In addition to learning how to use library reference materials properly, students are also taught how to behave in a respectful manner that ensures our library remains a place where quiet, reflective thought can take place without interruption.  We are pleased to also have a Montessori reference section dedicated to parents and teachers.


Each spring, our library hosts a book fair where students can purchase books and other educational materials.  

This school has an effective approach to homework. Homework is introduced progressively over the years at Providence as the children grow. It has never been overboard but introduces the children over time.

This school effectively deals with bullying. They teach peaceful resolution in all things… they have a peace pole that the children use to discuss disagreements.

This school develops strong character in its students, like integrity, compassion and respect. All of my son’s peers have gone on to college experiences and are doing better than their new peers. They are taught more life skills than just content for passing tests.
