Learning Tree - Neelankarai

Learning Tree Montessori School, founded in 2002, is located in  Adyar, Chennai with a branch in Neelankarai, Chennai. Over the years Learning Tree has established itself as one of the premier Montessori schools in the city for pre-primary education (kindergarten), and an exclusive school for primary education (Class 1 and above). It is classified under the category of K-12 schools.Learning Tree uses the Montessori method to help each child spontaneously reach his or her full potential - intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Teaching values at Learning Tree are aimed towards imparting qualities of self-confidence, poise, a spirit of sharing, and exemplary social behavior. The curriculum supports meaningful, exponential development of reading and writing skills, math, and a keen, scientific awareness of the world around us. Such cognitive and affective inputs from the school bring about a holistic development of the child's personality at an early age that is an invaluable investment for his/her future. The exposure to the Montessori system of education gives the children many advantages over traditional nursery, kindergarten, play school, and preschool teaching methods.Spacious classrooms, clean surroundings, and an outdoor play area combine to give the children a rich working environment. The swings, slides, see-saw, jungle gym, sand pit, etc under lush trees  are a constant delight to the children and present a picture of complete harmony with Nature. The sports ground in Neelankarai allows children to experience outdoor sports during school hours.Learning Tree is an inclusive school and welcomes challenged children. These children blossom and progress in the nurturing environment of the school and form an integral part of the Learning Tree community. Some of them have gained enough confidence  to join mainstream schools.
