Mission & Philosophy
Inly School Mission
Inly is a partnership of children, teachers and families, dedicated to the joyful discovery of each child's innate capabilities and potential. Our community of learners inspires and nurtures children to become global citizens by embracing the philosophy and methods of Dr. Maria Montessori, in harmony with other compatible and innovative practices.
Montessori Philosophy
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an early expert on child development. She believed that children are motivated by a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge. She felt that if a child were allowed to experience the empowerment of learning by his own choice rather than being forced, and if his skills for learning were honed, the child would be in a unique position to maximize his future learning situations.
The goal of a school should be to cultivate a child's natural desire to learn, not to simply fill the child with facts.

Dr. Montessori revolutionized education practice by shifting the paradigm of a teacher-centered system to a student-centered one. She believed that the goal of a school should be to cultivate a child's natural desire to learn, not to simply fill the child with facts. The discipline in a classroom should be self-discipline, she said, and children must be given the opportunity to develop it.
