Our Montessori program is carefully planned to provide a stimulating environment and opportunities for self-directed learning. The non-competitive environment allows each child to progress at his or her own pace.

     MSGL is the only Montessori school in the Lafayette/West Lafayette area accredited by the American Montessori Society (AMS). In fact, there are only five Montessori schools in the state of Indiana that have achieved this high distinction. We completed the AMS reaccreditation process in 2015. You can read our self study here. MSGL adheres strictly to the guidelines and philosophy set forth by its founder, Maria Montessori.

Our curriculum covers:

• Social Development to provide small group work, cooperative games, and other situations for developing social skills.
• Practical Life to develop daily living and fine motor skills while learning to care for oneself, and encouraging respect for others and one's environment.
• Language to develop cognitive, physical and readiness skills needed for reading, writing and comprehension.
• Sensorial Materials to refine the senses as a key path to early learning about the world.
• Math to develop a concrete as well as abstract understanding of numbers, counting, and math operations.
• Other Activities to provide opportunities for children to explore music, art, creative movement, geography and history, science and nature.
