小學部/蒙特梭利實驗教育

教學理念

6~12歲小學階段

蒙特梭利在第二階段以宇宙教育作為主軸，課程的核心主要會從歷史與生物學出發，旁觸地質學、物理及化學，當中強調宇宙萬物是一個整體。孩子會不斷思考萬物、個體和自己的宇宙使命，以及當中相互依存的關係，從而對人、事、物心存感激。

我們重視在生活脈絡中的場域學習，希望透過提供一個愛、尊重與信任的環境，以及豐富的環境資源，幫助孩子找到適合自己的學習方式，且給予孩子練習社會生活的機會，建立團體互助的經驗，以協助個體發現其宇宙任務，為未來踏上真實世界的旅程作準備。

蒙特梭利工作時間為三小時的工作週期，老師準備豐富多元的學習環境和示範引導，孩子練習安排自己的學習計畫。在蒙特梭利的主軸教學中，發現孩子的亮點和優勢，引導孩子發展自身的天賦。

靜心時間為午餐後的休息時段。我們帶透過音樂，畫圖，瑜珈，故事等方式，帶孩子練習正念靜心，找到放鬆身體和心靈，與自己安靜相處的時刻。

戶外生態人文探索每週主題戶外教學或大溝溪走讀。每季台灣小旅行和攀爬台灣山岳每學期露營活動見學旅行依孩子學習主題安排，這是孩子討論和主導的行程。

Experimental Education

Teaching Philosophy

6~12 years old elementary school

Cosmic education is at the core of Montessori stage two education. The nature of the curriculum will focus on history and biology and expand to geology, physics, and chemistry, emphasizing that the universe is a whole. Children will continue to think and reflect on all things, individuals, their missions, and the interdependence among them, to be grateful for people, things, and circumstances.

We value the importance of learning from life; we hope to help children find their learning methods by providing an environment of love, respect, and trust, as well as rich environmental resources; we strive for giving children opportunities to practice social life, and we facilitate establishing group mutual support experiences. With all of the above, we aim at helping individuals to discover their missions and prepare for their future journey in the real world.

Featured Teaching

• Uninterrupted work time according to the Montessori teaching method
• Meditation time
• Outdoor ecological and humanistic exploration
• Educational field trip
• Food and agriculture education teaching

Montessori work time

Montessori work time is a three-hour work cycle. Teachers prepare a rich and diverse learning environment and demonstrate guidance, and children practice and arrange their learning plans. Teachers aim to discover children's bright spots and advantages and guide them to develop their talents through Montessori core teaching.

Meditation time

Meditation time is the rest period after lunch. Teachers lead children to practice mindfulness and meditation through music, drawing, yoga, stories telling, etc. They help children learn to find a moment to relax the body and mind and get along with themselves in peace.

Outdoor ecological and humanistic exploration

Weekly theme-led outdoor teaching or outdoor study at Dagouxin.

Seasonal field trip and mountain hiking within Taiwan

Camping activities every semester

Educational field trip

The school will arrange educational "field trips" according to the children's learning theme. The trip itinerary will be discussed and led by the children for children.

Food and agriculture education teaching

Food and agriculture education teaching is our school's unique feature. We provide different forms of meal preparation instead of delivering the set nutritious lunch, which includes but is not limited to: students prepare meals in groups; parents take turns and prepare lunches for children at the school, bring your lunch day, etc... we hope children learn the most basic living skills, prepare and cook the meals by themselves, choose the food by themselves and therefore enjoy eating.

The course arrangement includes Montessori work, sports, art, experiments, music, cooking, outdoor activities, etc.,

School schedule: class time 8:00~16:30
