Montessori Middle School
Pacific Crest nurtures all the right values.
The middle grades—ages 11 through 14—are a time of great excitement and growth. During these pivotal years, the young adolescent acquires a sense of self-worth and self-esteem that will shape who she or he will be for years to come. To meet this challenge, Pacific Crest provides the emerging young adult with a support environment. The middle school program seeks to create a strong, viable community, helping the adolescent feel valued, respected, and confident.
The middle school brochure reflects student life at Pacific Crest. Each page highlights the values of the school; knowledge through inquiry, learning by doing, working in nature’s classroom, creative exploration, and building community. The brochure unfolds to a eye-catching poster that showcases student artwork and promotes their Introductory Nights for new families. It truly is ‘The Start of Something Big.’
The students are alive and the purpose of education is to stimulate.
. . . education is a natural process carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words, buy by experiences in the environment. —Maria Montessori
The proof is in the pudding. Applications are way up this year. You did a great job taking the time to understand our program. The materials reflect your deep understanding of the unique character of the school and its students. The colors and visual presentation grab one’s attention. The information is accessible and one comes away with an accurate and favorable sense of the school. —Catherine Gelband, Admissions Director, Pacific Crest School
