At Quality Interactive Private School we pride ourselves on personalized education. We believe each of our students is an individual, so why not be taught that way? With our low student to teacher ratio and commitment to small group learning we offer this to each and everyone of our students.
Local Loyalty
Quality Interactive Montessori values the importance of teaching our students different ways in which they can help support others. We have been seeing the distress and needs that people in our local community are facing.
Those needs had us wondering as a school, what we could do to help.
From many ideas and discussions,
Local Loyalty Quality Interactive was created.
Ultimately, our goal with Local Loyalty Quality Interactive, is to develop a lifelong sense of community, kindness, generosity, and loyalty in the children.
We are hopeful that the classrooms, the children, and our school families will take this concept and develop their own thoughts and ideas to support
Local Loyalty Quality Interactive.
We will be sharing select pictures from the school events for parents on our Facebook and Instagram pages tagging them to @QualityInteractive #LLQI.
If you have a Local Loyalty Quality Interactive moment outside of school, please tag us @QualityInteractive #LLQI so we can see it!
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.” Maria Montessori
Microeconomy
A shop, or store, could be established…and here the students could easily sell and bring their produce of their fields and garden, and other things that they have made.” ~ Maria Montessori, From Childhood to Adolescence.
The Microeconomy is a hallmark component of Quality Interactive Montessori School’s Adolescent Community. Dr. Montessori envisioned adolescents participating in and managing small business endeavors in order to experience economic activity in their community–the “microeconomy.”
Quality Interactive Montessori students participate in real economic activity as an introduction to economic life. This work serves a first step towards economic independence as well as allowing them to measure the worth of their activity against an external standard.
Quality Interactive Montessori’s younger adolescents participate in projects to study economics and to further create, modify, or promote the community’s economic activities. Some middle school students become managers of specific areas of the microeconomy, developing further responsibility and community contribution.
Older students begin to take on adult-level roles of management and business design, developing new businesses and taking workshops in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, business management, marketing and sales, and business law.
Quality Interactive Montessori’s microeconomy provides students with real-world, experiential learning in all areas of business operations. As students are given hands-on experiences and step into leadership roles, they more easily comprehend the various aspects of entrepreneurship, helping to lead them to eventual mastery of the areas that most greatly interest them.
An important component of the microeconomy is the “QQC Coffee Shop” The QQC provides students with the authentic experience of operating a business. Students’ creative and intellectual process are stimulated as they embark on the essential skills of design, production, exchange, and finance management, which promote the development of the adolescent toward understanding and taking part in adult society.
