We are so proud of our amazing SPM middle school students and their recent Montessori + Gonzaga Philosophy Showcase!
Throughout the semester, our middle schoolers partnered with Gonzaga philosophy students to explore big ideas and essential questions through discussion, critical thinking, art, and reflection. Working in small groups, students examined topics connected to appearance, influence, and action while learning how philosophy helps us better understand ourselves, our communities, and the world around us.
Their final showcase, Masks & Monologues, highlighted not only their creativity and academic growth, but also their courage to ask thoughtful questions such as:
✨ What is philosophy and why does it matter?
✨ What did we discuss and learn?
✨ How do we see ourselves vs. how does the world see us?
Experiences like these remind us how capable, reflective, and insightful Montessori adolescents truly are. We are grateful for this meaningful collaboration and so proud of the work our students shared with the community!
