Computer science is a broad field that covers subjects like programming, web development, app building, and artificial intelligence. Mountain West Montessori Academy includes computer science in our curriculum along with traditional subjects like math and history. With a comprehensive education, our students find solutions for challenges in the future.

Computer Science is a Profitable Field

The University of California Irvine notes that computer science is a $500 billion industry that's predicted to grow as technology continues to advance. As an adult, your child may graduate into a field with thousands of job opportunities. Computer science has several subdisciplines, allowing your child to choose what interests them and become an expert in their field.

Computer Science Provides Technical Knowledge

As Mass Insight points out, most students know how to use tablets and smartphones, but they have no idea how these devices work. Computer science reveals the software, programming, and development behind devices that they use every day. This gives students a greater appreciation for the incredible technology that they use in class.

With this knowledge, students are prepared to tackle new challenges as technology advances. They'll develop apps, launch start-ups, develop software and build websites that create a lengthy resume and a profitable career. When they get a Montessori education, students have the expertise to make everyone's lives more convenient.

Computer Science Promotes Logical Thinking

A Montessori education utilizes a range of learning styles, including hard logic. Computer science is based on logic, facts, and data with little room for error. Essentially, it's like math--but it's more engaging because it relates to your child's favorite technology. Learning about computer science teaches them problem-solving and logical thinking skills.
