For all the virtues of this wonderful school that could be listed, the fact is that there is something intangibly special about The Montessori School of Camden - a thrum of peace and excellence that one can feel as one visits. For those considering alternatives to the cookie-cutter, common core curriculum that the public school system will use to teach your children, I encourage you to take a tour of MSC and see what a difference the staff, the school, and the method can make in children of all types and backgrounds.
When I first toured years ago, I'll tell you what sold me. While the staff seemed calm and dedicated, and the philosophy of the teaching method was and is sound, it was the effulgent passion of the children that made it evident that this was the school for my child. There is a light in the eyes of the children at MSC, as they are enthusiastic about learning and exploring in a way that is natural. Children, from the youngest of ages, have an in-born curiosity about the world around them. As they grow, they learn about their environment by manipulating, playing, and experimenting. The Montessori method and MSC truly lets each individual student work on and learn what interests them. Therein lies the key to the long-lasting passion for learning that MSC cultivates in students, as children who are allowed to pursue what interests them in tangible, real-world ways that they can understand will never become bored or disillusioned with learning. It is evident that from birth that humans are natural learners that crave understanding. You only need to tour a public elementary school briefly to see several examples of lost children that the regimented, antiquated, ineffectual American public school system has drained all that natural passion for learning out of. The light from the eyes of many children lost in the public system fades, but you will not witness this phenomenon at MSC.
