Preprimary
Ages 24 months - 36 months

Maria Montessori found that from the moment of birth a child has an innate craving to learn. The preprimary program is the child's first introduction to Montessori and for many, the first experience away from the home environment. The focus is on basic socialization skills. Children learn grace and courtesy, getting along with others and how to express feelings in a nurturing and caring environment.

The primary classroom offers a program that allows for intellectual, social, emotional and physical development.

Elementary
Ages 6 - 9 years

The elementary curriculum builds upon the foundation established in the primary program. At this age, children go through a transformation in wanting to acquire information. They want to know everything about everything. Questions are encouraged, providing connections to all subjects which, in turn, lead to inner motivation and a personal quest for discovery. Hands-on materials are used to introduce concepts, engaging the child and assisting in the understanding of concepts. In the elementary years, the child comes first, not the curriculum. 5 full days

Junior
Ages 9 - 12 years

At this age, the imagination is expanding and increasing. Manipulative materials continue to be used as the children approach abstract learning. Concepts developed during the junior years are applied in a whole or all-encompassing manner. Maria Montessori described this as cosmic education. 5 full days

Middle School
Ages 12-15 years

 

In the middle school program, there is a thematic approach to learning evolving out of everything that has been done to this point. Abstract concepts such as the qualities and virtues of life are introduced. The children become involved in hands-on activities that expand to practical application outside of the classroom. Land-based learning (study of the environment) is a large part of the curriculum.
