Students at Nokomis Montessori Magnet, serving the east side of Saint Paul, learn in multi-age classrooms. We emphasize the Montessori method and blend in components of Reader's workshop and Writer's workshop.
Students learn in a non-competitive environment and use special Montessori materials that help them understand concepts and skills. Differentiated instruction is embedded in the Montessori methodology. Students in a Montessori environment learn strategies to think and work independently.
The Montessori teaching style and classroom organization maximizes the school learning environment and student behavior.
