Education Model:

Montessori

At IPS, our Montessori schools emphasize an educational philosophy and practice that fosters independence and self-motivated growth. We ensure that each child's social, emotional, and academic needs are met to support well-rounded development.

The Montessori educational model focuses on the "whole child," nurturing their natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. It creates a peaceful environment that inspires children to exert direct involvement over their own learning progress. By nurturing each individual child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding and respect, the Montessori educational model focuses on the child as a whole person and provides instruction in small groups for a more personalized learning experience.

EMBRACING PEACE, LOVE, KINDNESS AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Welcome to George Washington Carver School 87, where we foster an inclusive environment through the Montessori method—an individualized, child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes self-directed activity, keen observation, and hands-on learning experiences. We believe in fostering relationships that extend beyond our peaceful classrooms, integrating students into the vibrant life of Indianapolis through 24 community partnerships with groups like Kiwanis, Boy Scouts of America, and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, while promoting parent participation as integral to every student's success.
