What is Bowman School?
Children have a basic human need to explore—and Bowman provides an optimal learning environment where they can do just that. Every learning space, from classrooms to gardens, are carefully prepared with learning labs and hands-on tools that invite children to question, examine, and analyze. Self-directed and individualized learning form the foundation of the educational experience at Bowman. All students engage in planning their daily and weekly goals, from core academics to special topics and projects. In collaboration with their teachers, students also evaluate and communicate their own progress toward self-defined goals. Bowman recognizes that each child possesses a unique set of learning strengths and challenges, so the pace of learning in each subject is not limited by a traditional grade-structured curriculum. As a result, students develop confidence, a sense of responsibility, and a true love of learning.
What is Bowman Montessori?
Bowman teachers are specially trained in the Montessori approach to education and develop a personal understanding of each student’s unique learning needs by guiding them in small, multi-age classrooms for two to three sequential years. Our teachers are skilled in integrating subject matter—from science to art and history— which highlights a “big picture” view for students. As a result, ideas become personally meaningful for students, both in their day-to-day context as well as in shaping understanding of the world-at-large.
