Description: Approximately 50 students, from 18-month-olds to 6th graders, attend Pawleys Island Montessori Day School. The curriculum, as the name indicates, is based on the world-renowned Montessori philosophy of education, where instructors respect each child’s pace of learning and encourage students to follow their own interests. Emphasizing “concrete manipulations” (aka hands-on activities), the school has a student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1 or less. Established two decades ago, the school operates nine months of the year, has playground facilities, and welcomes new students. Call the listed number for an application.
