Orientation to Adolescence: a MAP St. Louis Curriculum Event

MAP St. Louis Orientation to Adolescence

As children begin the natural transition to adolescence, parents and adolescents themselves may find themselves reeling as they try to orient to the physical, social, and emotional changes of this new phase of life.

Get to know the developmental characteristics of adolescents, and discover how the Montessori adolescent learning environment is prepared to support holistic growth that sets students up for success to achieve their full potential.

This discussion will be most relevant to families with younger adolescents (as well as those with upper elementary children), though all with interest are welcome to attend.

About MAP St. Louis Curriculum Events

MAP St. Louis Curriculum Events allow families, guides, and students to come together around topics relevant to our program and of special interest to our community. We emphasize the importance of community connection by holding these events in person when possible.

Each event is designed to share information about a featured area of the program or curriculum; provide families opportunities for experiential engagement; invite questions and discussion from a variety of interests and perspectives; and strengthen mission-aligned community connections through interpersonal engagement.

About Us

MAP St. Louis is St. Louis's only Montessori & IB middle and high school , located in the Grand Center Arts District.

MAP St. Louis aims to redefine secondary education through a Montessori lens by cultivating an adolescent microcosm rooted within the heart of a vibrant St. Louis neighborhood. We prioritize the holistic development of each student, guiding them on their individualized journey to achieve their full potential as actively engaged local and global citizens.

Our vision is rooted in the conviction that adolescents—in the context of a stimulating, rigorous, and supportive environment—can learn, work, and contribute in significant ways. With an emphasis on student agency and partnership with adults, we strive to maintain a community constituted of creative, critically-thinking, and socially-conscious individuals who will enter adulthood prepared to create lives of purpose, value, and joy.
