Our Elementary Program

“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination. Our aim therefore is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to tough his imagination as to enthuse him to his inmost core.”
-Maria Montessori

Our Elementary Program includes a three-year experience in a Lower Elementary classroom for children in grades 1-3 and a three-year experience in an Upper Elementary classroom for children in grades 4-6.

Experiential hands-on Montessori materials help our students explore the areas of geography, history, math, language, biology, geometry and music. Our students are offered lessons and Great Stories that invite them to explore the world around them from the smallest flower to the farthest reaches of the cosmos.

Our expert Montessori teachers understand that during the Elementary years, children naturally have a thirst for knowledge, a sense of wonder, a reasoning mind, an attraction to peers and growth toward intellectual independence.

Decision-making, problem-solving and social awareness are key components of the elementary experience. Our elementary teachers are observant, respectful and passionate about guiding each child to full engagement in every area of curriculum.
