3 Key Impacts of a Low Student-To-Teacher Ratio on Learning

Posted by on Apr 13, 2023 in Montessori Education

It sounds reasonable that the more students a teacher are teaching, the less each student learns. Because there is only so much teacher to go around. But, there can be so many more impacts than just that.Student Teacher Ratio

As a Morrisville Montessori school, our team at Paramount Montessori school is focused on providing the best education for our students. Thus, we study the impacts of student-teacher ratio.

3 key impacts that occur when the student-to-teacher ratio drops are:

  1. Higher Achievement: Among all students – including race, socioeconomic status, and gender – academic achievement begins to rise. In larger classrooms, certain students will excel, and certain students will fall behind. When a teacher can’t spend individualized time with students due to classroom size, the number of students left behind rise.
  2. Less Educational Set Backs: Certain students learn different ways. Sometimes, these are called learning disabilities. In a smaller classroom, more students with a learning disability are learning and retaining information. In larger classrooms, almost all students with learning disabilities suffer.
  3. Student Attitudes: The size of the class, and thus the achievement levels of the class, impact the attitude of each student. This is a lifelong attitude towards learning. Students in larger classrooms have a harder time learning to enjoy the classroom.

While these are just a few of the impacts of low student-to-teacher ratios, the research is clear. The fewer students to each teacher has the best outcome for the student.

At Paramount Montessori, we have a low student-teacher ratio in all of our classrooms. To learn more about our Montessori school, contact us now.

4 Activities Included in the Education Program at Paramount Montessori School

Posted by on Apr 9, 2023 in Montessori Education

Most families know that a Montessori education is different from a normal education. In Montessori schools, students learn at their own pace by selecting what activities they will work on. At Paramount Montessori School in Morrisville, we follow the same model with our students. We allow them to learn and grow and their own pace.Montessori School Activities

But, we do offer a few specialized education opportunities that many other Morrisville daycares and Morrisville Montessori schools don’t offer.

4 activities that are offered at Paramount Montessori School that are rarely offered in other daycares are:

  1. Dance: Our students have the opportunity to learn about dance from cultures around the world. We bring in an outside dancer to come in and work with our students.
  2. Music: At such a young age, it can be hard to allow students to learn music. But, we have a variety of professionals come to Paramount Montessori to teach about music styles, instruments, and more.
  3. Spanish: Many daycares have the option for parents to pay more for their children to learn Spanish. But, this is an additional option for our students regardless of price. If they parent is interested in their student learning Spanish, they will be included in the lessons.
  4. About the Community: We love to bring in outside organizations like the Morrisville Fire Department or local professionals to teach our students about job and how our community functions together.

Our team at Paramount Montessori works very hard to add as many hands-on educational elements to our Montessori education. All of the professionals that visit our school are highly vetted before entering.
