Triangle Montessori Academy, Cary

Triangle Montessori Academy is dedicated to and inspired by the principles and ideas of Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Montessori (1870-1952), the first woman to be trained as a physician in Italy, developed a comprehensive method of early education based on years of observation and study of young children. She wondered what would happen if the many extraordinary means for educating special needs children at that time could be applied toward the education of all children. Many recent innovations in education are based on these principles. Dr. Montessori found that children have a special desire and capacity to learn at a very young age. Her approach recognizes that young children progress through special stages of learning, each at his or her own pace, and those children of different ages will teach and learn from one another. Triangle Montessori Academy’s goal is to educate the whole individual through the Montessori approach which addresses the intellectual, emotional, social and physical needs of each child. The philosophy of our school community is the encouragement of the child’s curiosity and interest, and the development of responsible, independent thinking that fosters a life-long love of learning.
