Philosophy/Belief Statement:

The staff of Rousseau McClellan School #91 believes that we have the responsibility to develop the whole child according to the principles of the Montessori Philosophy: physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually, within a safe and positive learning environment.

We believe that expectations should be high for all students and staff, and that a variety of strategies, experiences, technologies, and assessments are needed to encourage children to develop skills necessary for life-long learning.

We believe that it is important to have the involvement and cooperation of parents and community members to help develop attitudes leading to caring and productive citizens in an ever-changing society.
