Programs

Primary

The young child's natural curiosity and desire to learn about anything and everything which fascinates him/her is encouraged throughout the program.  The materials in the classroom captivate the child's interest allowing him/her to easily obtain the skills necessary to read, write and work with numbers. The curriculum also promotes the child's habits of initiative and persistence, the ability to make decisions and self-discipline. Every child is free to choose from any of the following curriculum areas; Practical life, Sensorial, Introduction to reading and writing, Math, Art, Music, Introduction to Culture and Geography and Science. In each session, there will be time for snack, exploring outdoors, and group and individual lessons.

Elementary

The Montessori elementary curriculum was developed as an integrated whole to serve the developmental needs of children from ages 6 to 12. Dr. Montessori termed this period the second plane of development. The continuity of the curriculum allows individual children to move through various subject areas at the pace that is best for them, building confidence and genuine self-esteem. Just as all of Dr. Montessori’s, insights, the division of the elementary into two stages, 6-9 year olds and 9-12 year olds is based on the students’ developmental needs as they move towards adolescence. The work in the lower elementary is done with extensive Montessori material allowing the children not only to experience the depth and breadth of the curriculum, but also to become comfortable with their own learning styles. The upper elementary students, ages 9-12 transition to more abstract thinking relying more heavily on books and other resource material as they strengthen the work begun in the lower elementary.
