ESC: Freie Montessori Schule Stams

Montessori Approach: The Freie Montessorischule Stams is a small private school with a self-directed learning focus of about 35 children, between 6-17 years old. The children have the possibility to be free and to independently choose their direction, with accordance to their own development plan. In our school there are no evaluations, no grades, and no reports. The school does not have the typical teaching sessions, as defined from the expected teacher goals. The students are attached by three teachers with their main function of observing the children in their activities and making a picture of their development. The teachers´role is to accompany their children´s daily activities and to make sure that the children remain relaxed and connected. In the afternoon the teachers have team meetings or talks with parents to reflect on the latest development of the children - like which kind of interventions were necessary or if any observed changes of the child activities have occured.
