An innovative approach to learning is coming to the Foothills area.

This week, the Foothills School Division approved a Montessori program for the 2011 to 2012 school year.

Superintendent of Schools for the Division, Denise Rose says while the program is play focused, they do follow the Province's curriculum.



Rose says initially the program will only be offered to grades one to three.



Rose says they're thrilled there is enough interest in the program to move forward.



Rose says initially the program will be run off site but will likely move to big rock school should space become available.

Rose says the program will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure there are sufficient interest to support the program.
