Escuela Moderna (Modern School)

Escuela Moderna, or Modern School, was an innovative educational movement founded in the early 20th century by psychologist and educator Maria Montessori. It emphasizes student-centered learning, fostering independence, critical thinking, and creativity rather than traditional rote memorization. The approach promotes active participation, hands-on activities, and respect for individual development, helping students become lifelong learners. This method aims to develop not just academic skills but also social and emotional growth, preparing students to adapt and thrive in a changing world. Escuela Moderna reflects a progressive philosophy that prioritizes personalized education tailored to each student's needs.
