OUR TEAM: 15-18
In Montessori adolescent education, students aged 15–18, compared to those 12–15, begin to think about how they can make a difference in the world and develop greater forward-thinking abilities. Their focus expands from personal growth to societal issues, exploring what personally motivates them and how they can share that with the wider world. Education at this stage emphasizes guiding them to connect self-understanding with social responsibility.

Self Expression 自我表達
青少年階段具的孩子，有強烈的自我表達需求。在 Y2MAC，我們的課程設計將其分成「體育」和「創意表達」兩部分，依據學生人數，邀請一至數位外部專業老師前來授課，盡可能讓學生有多元探索的機會，為蒙特梭利青少年教育不可或缺的要素。星期三整天是自我表達課程，讓學生能自在浸淫其中。
