Family partnership and involvement for lifelong learning

Planete Montessori International School holds several conferences during the year. These are led by our Montessori educators or by specialists who we invite to come and share their expertise to strengthen our Family Partnership with the parents. These conferences are educational, informative and interactive, allowing for sharing on various topics. Here are some examples :

Organized during the year for all children, field trips help to give meaning to learning by promoting direct contact with the natural or cultural environment, and confronting the learning with reality. Field trips are one of the best tools that we can use to provide children with real-world experiences. Whether it’s a trip to a library, a farm, a museum, a theater, a bank or to the local grocery store, each experience that the child participates in contributes to an understanding of the world.

Linguistic and cultural exchanges are also first-hand experiences which constitute a valuable and effective means of discovering cultural similarities and differences.

Our children ages 9 to 15 have the opportunity to participate in the annual Montessori Model United Nations Conference, and act as Montessori representatives of the United Nations. This exceptional program helps children to realize that they can have an impact on the world they live in and make it a better place. The resolutions that are voted by the children during their collaborative work at this conference are then transmitted to the United Nations.

During this event, which closes the school year, the children showcase all the work carried out during the year with their music teacher and their Montessori educators in artistic expression. This performance is also an opportunity for children to share with their parents their pleasure of singing, playing music, dancing or doing theater. They also develop their confidence by performing from an early age in front of an audience.
