Growing God’s kingdom through education and discovery.
The Vine utilizes a nature-based learning environment together with Dr. Maria Montessori’s philosophy, which views the whole child.
Montessori education provides:
The Montessori philosophy and theory is rooted in order, concentration, coordination, and independence in the five basic areas of study: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture. The Montessori curriculum allows children to excel their education individually in areas of study that appeal to them. By giving the child ‘choice’, learning becomes joyful and holistic.
Students learn through Culture about God’s creations. Bible stories/songs may be included or referenced at any time while your child is on campus to assist with the instruction of the environment. Bible references instill respect, love, and excitement for the world; plant the seeds for a courteous heart; build connections between everyday life; provide a sense of wonder and exploration; and emphasize a compassion for learning through developmentally appropriate experiences.
Our goal is to educate your child through their natural senses in a program that will promote independence, self-discipline, and order in every child. We look forward to working with you and your family.
