“Give your child the best beginning”
Our Lower and Upper Elementary Program Continues to offer respect for the individual in a classroom designed to meet the needs of children from the ages of six through nine. It covers the traditional grades of first through third in a multi-sensory, multi-aged classroom. It’s from Grade 1 to Grade 6
The emphasis is on experience and exploration. Children in a Montessori classroom is rich with Montessori materials and resources. Students are moving from concrete understanding to abstract thinking in a peaceful, respectful environment where each child feels safe emotionally, physically and academically.
Classes begin at 8:00 AM with dismissal at 3:30 PM
Principles of Lower and Upper Elementary:
-
- The curriculum is designed to meet the needs and characteristics of the 6 to 9 and the 9 to 12 years old and challenges students to problem solve, research, analyze, arrange and present information in a continually refined process.
- The children at the elementary level are community oriented and experience very real lessons about living in accord with their peers and their everyday world.
- Emphasis is placed on the integration rather than the independent study of subject matter, history, geography, cultural studies, art, music, math, science, and language including French.
- Field trips are planned to heighten awareness and understanding of the thematic study

Montessori Said:
The method recognizes that the mind of a child during the first six years of life is especially absorbent. Guided by universal developmental periods, children acquire order, controlled movement, spoken and written language, refinement of their senses, and mathematical thinking almost effortlessly. The method highlights the crucial importance of providing children with a rich and diverse learning environment suited to their natural needs and tendencies in order for them to develop to their highest potential during these critical years.
