✅ What Makes the School Unique?

HTM is defined by its fusion of the Montessori method with deep Catholic identity:

• Catholic Identity & Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS): The school is unique for its use of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS), an internationally recognized, Montessori-based religious formation program. Students visit the Atrium (a specially prepared religious environment) weekly.

• Authentic Montessori Education: Adheres faithfully to the principles and practices of Dr. Maria Montessori, including mixed-age classrooms, three-hour uninterrupted work cycles, and the use of specially designed Montessori materials that promote self-correction and mastery.

• Prepared Environment: Each classroom is a “prepared environment,” meticulously organized and equipped to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children within that specific age group, facilitating independent learning and exploration.

• Whole-Child Formation: The curriculum is holistic, cultivating the child’s intellectual, spiritual, social, and emotional growth. The Montessori approach naturally develops concentration, independence, and internal discipline.

• Individualized Learning: The curriculum is individualized and self-paced, allowing students to progress through challenging materials as they master concepts, encouraging both academic rigor and intrinsic motivation.

• Multi-Sensory Curriculum: Learning is inherently hands-on and multi-sensory through the use of the materials, leading to deep conceptual understanding across all subject areas, including Math, Language, Geography, and Science.
