Capucine Montessori School


  • Sobre Nós

    French-English Bilingual Montessori

    Capucine Montessori School is a French/English, dual immersion, Montessori classroom, serving children ages 2.9 to 6 years, and their families. We are opening Fall of 2018 in Cambridge, MA. 

    WHAT IS CAPUCINE?

    Capucine  (pronounced ka-pue-seen) is the French word for nasturtium, a beautiful climbing plant with edible flowers and a peppery flavor. The capucine can climb a trellis, extending itself and flourishing into a formidable display of warm colors and beautiful broad leaves. This is our vision of the child. With the proper conditions in the environment, the children can grow independently yet together in the company of their fellow seedlings. Intertwining and thriving. As their curiosity guides them, they expand and travel high up the trellis, each finding their preferred pathway. The classroom environment itself is an ecosystem with all entities dependent on one another. Each child, each adult, each material, shelf and painting on the wall contributes to this balance.

    WHY MONTESSORI?

    We want to nurture curiosity, wonder, autonomy, concentration, intrinsic motivation, and perseverance. We believe that education should prepare children to be productive members of society and that with a strong social-emotional and academic foundation, they will be well equipped to lead their own pathways. Montessori education finds the perfect balance between individualized learning, freedom of choice and rigorous academics. Research has shown that Montessori education aids the development of executive functions, as well as equalizes the playing field for students from a variety of backgrounds (Lillard et al., 2017). As a school that values equity and nurturing human development, Capucine is dedicated to delivering an authentic Montessori experience to a diverse group of students.
