Springbrook Elementary School is home to Orange County and IUSD's only Elementary Montessori program, which serves students in grades 1-6.
About the Springbrook Montessori Program
Similar to their peers, students in the Montessori program work toward mastery of their grade-level and end-of-year standards, while taking the instructional approach of Maria Montessori. This District program is fully integrated into Springbrook Elementary. As such, a district-wide lottery process is used. Students must live within IUSD attendance boundaries to enroll in the program.
Benefits of a Montessori:
Montessori education focuses on the whole child, fostering rigorous and self-motivated growth in cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development.
Children develop a strong sense of curiosity, thriving within an environment designed to nourish their intellect.
Key traits such as concentration, confidence, and independence are actively nurtured from an early age.
Students learn and grow as part of a close, caring community where every child is respected.
