Our Approach
The Montessori Curriculum (Pre-k 6th Grade)
The Montessori curriculum emphasizes an individualized program encouraging a child’s natural ability and desire to learn. This curriculum catches a child’s imagination and enthusiasm. Prepared exercises offer practical experiences. Lessons involve the manipulation of materials. Both encourage the child to use his or her intelligence to explore, analyze and problem-solve.
The curriculum is designed to complement the development of each child’s personality and fosters self-reliance, self-respect, and cooperation. The child develops positive attitudes toward himself, learning, books, and the classroom environment.
Classes are based on three-year age groupings. Younger students observe and learn from older students. The older students develop nurturing behavior and leadership qualities. They reinforce the knowledge they have by passing it on to others.
Each classroom is a lovingly- prepared, child-centered environment. Great care and planning go into preparing the Montessori materials used in each classroom. Materials and activities are arranged on low shelves accessible to the child for whom they are intended. Furniture is designed with the child in mind. An atmosphere of order, beauty, and harmony exists. Learning becomes a natural and delightful activity.
