At Quantum Montessori, we understand that every learner is unique and learns differently, and that is why our learning pod is tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of each child. We believe that by creating a supportive and heart-centered learning environment, we can help our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With this in mind, we strive to assist learners in achieving the following learning goals:

1. Develop Positive Social Skills: Learners practice cooperating, communicating effectively, and showing respect to their peers in a virtual learning environment. They will also learn to value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of their pod mates.

2. Develop Self-Government/Regulation and Independence: Learners will learn how to manage their own learning and become more self-sufficient. They will learn to take responsibility for their work, manage their time effectively, and seek help when needed.

3. Foster a Love for Learning: In our learning pod, our top priority is to inspire a love for learning in our learners. We believe that when children are engaged and passionate about their education, they develop a lifelong love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.

4. Develop Critical Thinking Skills: Learners will be challenged to think critically, problem-solve, and make decisions independently. They will also develop their creativity and learn to approach tasks in different ways.

5. Build a Strong Foundation in STEAM: Through a combination of Montessori and STEAM-based activities, children will develop an understanding of science, technology, engineering, art, and math concepts. They will learn to apply these skills in real-world scenarios.

6. Cultivate Empathy and Compassion: Learners will have opportunities to learn about and empathize with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. They will also participate in community service projects to develop a sense of compassion and responsibility towards others.

7. Encourage a Healthy Lifestyle: Learners will learn about the importance of physical and mental health through age-appropriate activities and discussions. They will be encouraged to make healthy choices and develop healthy habits.

8. Develop Digital Literacy Skills: In today’s digital age, it is important for learners to develop digital literacy skills. They will learn how to navigate and use technology safely and responsibly.

9. Encourage a Love for Nature: Learners will have opportunities to learn about the environment and develop an appreciation for nature. They will learn about sustainability, conservation, and taking care of the planet.

10. Foster a Growth Mindset: Learners will be encouraged to adopt a growth mindset and believe that they can develop their abilities through effort and practice. They will learn to embrace challenges and view mistakes as learning opportunities.

🎉 Message from Ms. Ashleigh Stevens, Quantum Montessori™ founder, an Elementary & Secondary Montessori Guide, and homeschool mom to three children:

Thank you for taking the time to explore our profile. We eagerly anticipate you joining us on your learning journey. I founded the Quantum Montessori Institute with a team of outstanding educators and leaders. I wanted parents to feel empowered to educate their children from home confidently, while also working, running a business, living an RV lifestyle, traveling the world, or simply seeking a hybrid learning environment. My passion for Montessori has led me to work with a diverse group of youths and my aim is to ensure an equitable experience, one that equally prioritizes the wellbeing of not only the child, but also the parents and educators.
