31 | Thursday, October 23, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Natural immersion... the best way to learn At Dearcroft Montessori, we witness daily the joys of our small and dynamic school's dedication to academic excellence in a natural, inspired setting. In addition to the amazing benefits of a Montessori education, including independence, confidence and highly developed character, we enjoy seeing our students challenged to go beyond the status quo. Located on a beautiful historic campus, just short steps to the downtown of Old Oakville, Dearcroft is walking distance to the beautiful parks, museums and shops of our historic harbour district. In addition to exploring these gems of our community, our students regularly explore the history, geography and culture of our province through frequent excursions and travel opportunities. This form of `natural immersion' appeals to all students and creates a heightened awareness, far beyond the scope of simple `textbook learning'. Culminating in our award winning Expedition Education program that explores Canada's vast diversity and remarkable natural treasures through visits to Unesco World Heritage Sites from coast to coast, our curriculum is groundbreaking and bold. Dearcroft students experience learning beyond our classroom walls through in depth exploration of the Great Lakes and Canadian Heritage Rivers, First Nation Studies and the remarkable MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) program in New York City. At Dearcroft we believe in providing our students with both a local and global perspective through inspirational curriculum and hands on learning opportunities that appeal to individual learning styles. As Oakville's original Montessori program and the third oldest independent school in Oakville, for nearly fifty years, Dearcroft has been the school of choice for families seeking a truly remarkable and inspiring learning environment. Visit our campus at our upcoming open house, Saturday Oct. 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or book an appointment at any time to learn more about how our Preschool to Grade 8 community can benefit your child.
