Christian practices

What are the Christian practices at Montessori West?

We have no formal doctrine or catechism classes. We pledge allegiance to the flag, sing several songs, share a scripture, share prayer requests, and pray for our Moms and Dads and the other needs of our daily lives.

Each Tuesday morning for approximately thirty minutes, we will sing Christian children’s songs and tell a Bible story. We share the positive character traits from our stories. We emphasize the virtues of being brave like David, wise like Solomon, faithful like Daniel. We also share the wonderful news that God loves us and has a wonderful plan for our lives.

The Bible story is continued all week and retold in multiple fashions – everything from reading to acting the story out. We also memorize one scripture each week. Hands-on Bible lessons are part of the academic materials available in the classroom.

One of our Studio classes is a Bible class studio where we share stories that are fun and entertaining and illustrate positive character building virtues, undertake art projects, perform dramas and sing, and conduct science projects that glorify our creator.
