As faith is a major cornerstone of Catholic education and at the center of all we do within Light of Christ Academy, our faith formation is taken very seriously. Every child in our Montessori Atrium experiences the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd program. It is a Christ-centered, hands-on, liturgically based program designed to aid religious formation for children.
Our school has a designated Atrium space within the Montessori classroom. It is a peaceful place for prayer, meditation, and contemplation. Within the Atrium are materials that aid each child in further developing their relationship with God and His church.
Children experience the Catholic faith through an Atrium filled with materials to nurture the relationship between the child, God, and His church and to understand the traditions of the Catholic faith. Children work with materials that allow them to experience the traditions of the Catholic faith and represent the symbols and traditions of Mass in a child-like, age-appropriate setting.
Testimonial about Montessori Education
“I’ve had two children come through Light of Christ’s Montessori program and to be honest I was a bit of a skeptic at first. I loved the idea of its principles but didn’t know what it would look like for my child. I am 100% convinced after seeing how much my children thrived and grew, not only educationally, but in all areas of their life. I recommend this program to anyone who wants a true collaboration in helping their child grow!”
