It is a free public school located in the heart of Tubac, Arizona. Since the late 1800s there has been a school located in Tubac and it is an honor for Montessori de Santa Cruz to continue that tradition.
Montessori is a philosophy with the fundamental tenet that a child learns best within a social environment which supports each individual’s unique development. The environment contains specially designed manipulative materials for development that invite children to engage in learning activities. Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children in a Montessori classroom learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating
concentration,
motivation,
self discipline, and a
love of learning.

to the community, through the Arizona State Extra Curricular Tax Credit
Program (ECA), the school enhances education with music, and gardening
instruction. Many students play the violin and all Kindergarten students take violin classes as part of their first year of education. Montessori de Santa Cruz students tend an organic garden complete with traditional sunken vegetable beds. |
