The Crescent School, previously known as Algiers Point Montessori, is a small school in New Orleans that focuses on a nurturing environment with low student-teacher ratios. We offer care for infants to 5 years in Algiers Point. We follow a place-based curriculum that incorporates Montessori lessons and practices. We encourage curiosity and adventure through the environment that we create and the language we use with our students.
We follow a place-based curriculum, meaning, we use our community, city, and surroundings as a third teacher in our classrooms. Our lessons are taught through the lens of living in New Orleans and specifically in Algiers Point. Place-based is "the process of using the local community and environment as a starting point to teach concepts in language arts, mathematics, social studies science, and other subjects across the curriculum. Emphasizing hands-on, real-world learning experiences, this approach to education increases academic achievement, helps students develop stronger ties to their community, and enhances students' appreciation for the natural world..."
Along with a place-based curriculum, we also pull inspiration from Montessori practices with our letter lessons, number lessons, and practical life practices. We encourage autonomy, creativity, and movement.
School hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm, with aftercare from 4:30pm-5:30pm. Starting rate is $15 an hour.
Applicants must have a flexible schedule, a love for children and education, as well as excellent communication skills and a growth mindset.
