Starwood Traditions

School Traditions

The time-honored traditions that we practice at Starwood Academy of Frisco nurture a child’s sense of self and social responsibility. We believe the fundamental values of respect and compassion start at the earliest ages and are learned through modeling and practicing small, regular customs.

Our entire community of students, parents, teachers and staff celebrate Starwood Academy of Frisco’s traditions — we look forward to them, enjoy being a part of them, and take pride in watching children become accustomed to these social experiences. Some of our traditions include:

Maria Montessori's Birthday

Maria Montessori's birthday is one of our favorite events of the year where we come together as a school community to celebrate by singing some of our favorite Montessori songs. Additionally, students participate in a Celebration of Life ceremony or tea party in their classrooms to honor her birthday.

International Day of Peace

As a whole school, we observe this holiday both as a cause for celebration and a chance for reflection. Peace Studies has been intrinsic to Montessori since its inception. Peace Education is the ultimate goal of Montessori and is taught every day, not just a week out of the year where we celebrate.

Classroom Celebrations

Twice a year, Starwood Academy families are invited to join their students for a joyful celebration marking the end of the semester and the last day of school. These come-and-go events offer a chance for parents to connect with their children and experience the vibrant energy of our classrooms.

Cultural Fair

Each year, the entire Starwood Academy community is invited to gather for an enriching evening of learning, exploration, and discovery at our Annual Cultural Fair. This highly anticipated event showcases the research, creativity, and hard work of our Primary Leaders Club, elementary, and middle school students. Families explore student-created displays and projects, each reflecting unique cultural themes and global perspectives.

Spring Picnic

Every spring, Starwood Academy families are invited to join their students for a fun-filled day outdoors at our annual Spring Picnic! This beloved tradition is a wonderful opportunity to connect with classmates, guides, and fellow families while enjoying a shared meal in the fresh air.

Bridge Ceremony

Starwood Academy of Frisco's Annual Bridge Ceremony is a Montessori tradition that marks a significant period of growth in a child’s life. The ceremony recognizes our middle school graduates and primary and elementary students transitioning from one stage of development to another.
