Each month we will feature a couple of blogs so that you can see Montessori education in action at Brickton. Discover all the opportunities our students have to develop independence and self-confidence. At our school, students take ownership of their learning with joy.

Chess Winners
The Chess Club at Brickton is one of our most popular extracurricular activities. The room hums with excited students battling it out on the chess board. Each year, they are awarded tournament prizes. This year’s tournament ended in a tie between two second year students, Luka and Mattew. Luka said his favorite part of Chess Club was playing the game and getting awards. Matthew said he likes that chess helps you get smarter and he loves the pizza party!
