Enrollment Open For 2nd TPS Montessori Elementary School
Tulsa Public Schools is opening its second Montessori school, this time at Grissom Elementary School.
Montessori classrooms are different from a normal classroom setting. Students learn in mixed age groups and teachers work to meet students where they are. It s such a whole-child approach that s consistent with what we believe about what s good for kids, Grissom principal Brent Rowland said. Students work in mixed aged groups, it s no longer first or second grade, we consider it lower elementary or children s house, which is a very Montessori term there,” Montessori Program Specialist Diane Beckham said.
