The mission of Dixie Montessori Academy is to provide a child-centered, individualized, grade K-7 education founded upon the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. DMA will foster a structured environment of freedom and discovery in which each child can reach his or her full academic, social, and personal potential. Graduates of DMA will demonstrate creative thinking, self-discipline, respect, and cooperation, and will build a solid foundation for future success.
The educational philosophy and methods of instruction supporting DMA’s mission and distinguishing its program include the following, each of which maps specifically to the Goals & Objectives hereinafter enumerated:
The Dixie Montessori Academy environment and curriculum will thus be based on the freedom of a highly individualized and self-directed education within the specifically “prepared environment” of vertical (multi-age) classrooms, specialized didactic materials, careful teacher observation and guidance, and a strong commitment to the values of self-discipline and respect. DMA’s educational program will likewise include frequent opportunities for parental involvement, regular and specific assessment of progress, and ongoing web-based reporting. Assessment and reporting take place within a structure of explicit alignment between the Montessori curriculum and the Utah Common Core Standards.
