Training Program

As Montessori methodology is globalized, it is essential for Montessori teachers to be trained. This system is used at SPS, one of the best international schools in Dharmapuri.
Batches of teachers have been sent for a training program with IMTC's Chennai and Karnataka chapters, certifying them as Diploma holders in Montessori (D.M.T).
This initiative was started by our Correspondent, Mrs. Deepthi Dhanasekar, along with our Senior Principal, Mr. C. Srinivasan. Sixteen teachers have completed their training in Coimbatore, Erode, Hosur and Bangalore, earning Montessori training certificates and D.M.T. certification.
In the academic year 2019-20, our school campus was designated as the centre for the Montessori training program based on the IMTC Karnataka chapter.
Additionally, in-house training sessions are provided to the teachers by experienced trainers every evening and on Saturdays.

Montessori Activities

exercises of Practical life

The Exercise of practical life activities in Montessori is given to the children to develop their fine and gross motor skills.

Sensorial Activities

Sensorial comes from the word senses. The purpose of sensorial activities is to help children to sort out the different impressions given by the senses.

Language Development

The role of nature in child’s learning is that it has given the ability to absorb the language spoken by the others in his environment.

Arithmetic Activities

Montessori believed that a child’s mind is mathematical and based on the order of perceptual awareness found in the development of the sense.

Culture and Science

Science is a part of our life. Science is everywhere from our kitchen to the pooja room so it is necessary for the child to know it.

Outdoor Play

Play grounds are places where children’s play can take off and flourish. Our good and neat play area is large enough and designed in such a way that children’s play can come to full expression, where they can swing, jump, climb slide and explore the natural world.
