The Primary Program
Pre-k to Kindergarten
Our school follows the principles of a child-centered education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. An important element in the Montessori philosophy is to view children as unique human beings.
The Montessori system of education is child-centered and teacher facilitated. The first plane of development is referred to in The Montessori Philosophy as the period of the “absorbent mind”. Children develop through language and movement while their personalities unfold and develop. The child absorbs information and knowledge like a sponge. The environment offers the child the opportunity to learn. Classroom materials spark the child’s curiosity. Discovery becomes a delight, and a child’s accomplishment brings about a sense of fulfillment and pleasure. Learning becomes a joyous, natural experience for the child.

Our Prepared Environment
Our Primary Classroom is composed of a multi-age grouping of 3 to 6 year old’s. The Primary class blends practical and sensorial activities with social and academic skills. Our classrooms are carefully prepared and ordered learning environments, organized to meet the needs of children at different stages of development.
The child experiences phonics, spelling, writing, language and reading skills. Geography lessons include puzzle maps, creating landforms, and the study of different countries and their people. Science, art, sound and movement are integrated into the curriculum. In addition to the regular Montessori curriculum, Wisdom Academy integrates Arabic, Quran and Islamic Studies in order to teach Islamic principles based on the values taught by Ahlul Bayt.
