Montessori Program
 

Grades K - 7

Space is limited - a wait list is maintained.

The Montessori program is intended to develop self-directed students with a global vision.

In the Montessori classroom:

  • There is a multi-age group in each class, ideally a three year age span, with 6-9 year olds grouped together and 9-12 year olds in another grouping. Wherever possible, students stay with the same teacher for three years.
  • The program is individualized wherever practicable.
  • An emphasis is placed on students progressing at their own rate.
  • At the Primary level, the method is based on the use of self-correcting, concrete materials, which are devised to be used in a sequence matched to the child's level.
  • Materials are limited so that children learn to share and help one another. There are large unbroken time spans for work, with a minimum of interruptions to disturb the student's concentration.
  • The curriculum is designed to develop in the child a global view of mankind, stressing the interdependence of man and the care of the environment.
  • There is an emphasis on the development of the child as a contributing member of the society, including a multicultural focus.
  • History of Montessori.
