Education Model:

Montessori

At IPS, our Montessori schools emphasize an educational philosophy and practice that fosters independence and self-motivated growth. We ensure that each child's social, emotional, and academic needs are met to support well-rounded development.

The Montessori educational model focuses on the "whole child," nurturing their natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect. It creates a peaceful environment that inspires children to exert direct involvement over their own learning progress. By nurturing each individual child's natural desire for knowledge, understanding and respect, the Montessori educational model focuses on the child as a whole person and provides instruction in small groups for a more personalized learning experience.

WELCOME TO JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ELEMENTARY – HOME OF MOTIVATED LEARNERS

Welcome to James Russell Lowell School 51, where we foster an inclusive environment through the Montessori method—an individualized, child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes self-directed activity, keen observation, and hands-on learning experiences. We believe in fostering relationships that extend beyond our peaceful classrooms, integrating students into the vibrant life of Indianapolis through our community partnerships and promoting parent participation as integral to every student's success.
