Meet Jesseca Kusher-Montessori Middle School Student.

          Meet Jesseca Kusher-

Jesseca is a 12 year old seventh grader here at Montessori Academy.  Jesseca began her Montessori career at the age of three in the Primary classroom.  Jesseca is the oldest of three children; and her two younger brothers Ian and Logan also attend Montessori Academy of Spartanburg.  Jesseca’s parents, Dr. Michelle Carney M.D., and Dr.Dave Kusher, PhD are truly devoted to the Montessori Philosophy and serve on Montessori Academy’s PTO Board.

Jesseca says that her favorite thing about Montessori Academy is that she loves being able to put her hands on the work that she is doing.  She loves being able to see, touch and feel things that she is learning about.  She also says that Montessori Academy is so warm and friendly; she likes that everyone knows each other.  She also likes the fact that she can go at her own pace with her work; if she is studying something that she doesn’t quite get she can take her time and spend more time comprehending and really grasping the information.  Jesseca says that because of this, she has learned how to manage her time appropriately which has in turn, made her a very responsible 12 year old!  Montessori has also given her self confidence at school and throughout the community of Spartanburg.  She doesn’t have a problem talking in public, and easily approaches and speaks with new people.

The most important thing to Jesseca about the Montessori Method and Montessori Academy is the sense of calm and the sense of community.  Montessori is peaceful and teaches peace and respect for others and for you.  This is important to Jesseca and this should be important to you because Jesseca is our future!!!!!
