Curriculum

Our elementary education program is self-paced and cooperative. It balances the child's developing imagination and power of abstraction with concrete, hands-on work. The children work together on individual and small group interests. They research, plan, complete and then present projects to others.

We support the elementary students' natural interest in society with research projects and group readings. This structure facilitates both independent study and group work.

Montessori's Five Great Lessons about human life and its place in the cosmos provide the framework for the study of all major subject areas, including:

• Mathematics
• Science
• Literature
• Language
• History
• Geography
• Music
• Art

We also provide additional weekly enrichment classes in art, music, phys ed and foreign languages.
