IVMS Does the Arts! A school that celebrates the arts; do you find that surprising? I just graduated from IVMS. It has inspired me and a majority of the other graduates to realize their talents in the fine arts. Everything from ceramics to singing, foreign languages to painting is celebrated at Island Village Montessori School. Fine arts are part of Kindergarten through 8th students every day curriculum. There are Art classes for ceramics, drawing, and painting. Because of art class, the hallways are an art gallery. For some this may be a glance into the future, their art being admired by all. With so many different aspects of art offered, there is bound to be an art class for every student to enjoy. Music classes are extremely popular as well. In music you can learn to play basically any instrument you want! Piano, guitar, and drums seem to be favorites with the students. Dance is an enjoyed class too. Students exercise both mind and body, choreographing dances, learning different styles, and learning how to work their muscles. |

Letter From A Parent This letter is from a parent of a middle school graduate. She has given permission to share her impressions of the middle school with you so that you all may have a better understanding of our goals at IVMS. Names were removed to protect privacy. All else is how she sent it. Dear Kym, The year has unfortunately come to an end. We leave Island Village and move on to high school, with tears in our hearts. I hate that our time here is over, but I am happy that my son has gained so much from Island Village. I have watched as he transformed into the unique, gifted, independent young man he is. I, myself, have learned so much from you and his educators. Thank you, Kym, for the vision you had to start a school for all our unique learners. Thank you for your wisdom, your creativity, and your endurance. When we first moved to Florida, I was excited to be in the States, to be in a new place and unfortunately, that excitement ended as my son moved through the school system here. I am sure the public schools strive to do their best at reaching their goals but, they have seemed to forgotten the goal of teaching. |

"If education is to be an aid to civilization, it cannot be carried out by emptying the schools of knowledge (wisdom), of character, of discipline, of social harmony, and, above all, of freedom." - Maria Montessori Remembering the Original Vision Island Village Montessori... the first Charter
