About Hudson Country Montessori School
At Hudson Country Montessori School (HCMS), children learn to observe, think, judge and pursue individual interests at their own speed in a manner that best meets their learning style. More than a century ago, Dr. Maria Montessori noted that "no two students learn at the same pace nor do they necessarily learn best from the same methods." Our curriculum and teachers encourage students to develop self-discipline, confidence, independence and critical thinking skills which lead to academic success. The curriculum is tailored to the developmental neds and stages of all children and is organized into five areas: Practical Life; Sensorial; Mathematics; Language; Sciences, Geography, Cultures and Arts.  The Montessori process of learning is made up of three stages: introduction to a concept; processing and development of understanding through experimentation; and, knowing. Children demonstrate knowing not just though testing, but by showing or teaching another child. It through this mastery and leadership that children grow and learn to their maximum potential.
