Primary, Pre-K & Kindergarten
The Montessori method is designed to help children with their
task of inner construction as they grow from childhood to maturity.
The Montessori approach succeeds because its principles are
flexibility of the Montessori approach allows it to be adapted to the
needs of the individual child, regardless of the level of ability,
learning style or social maturity.
The Montessori environment is designed to meet the physical, the
child to learn and thrive. In the Montessori classroom, children are
free to respond to their natural drive to work and learn. The childs
inherent joy of learning is encouraged by giving him/her the
opportunities to engage in meaningful activities, under the
concentration, motivation, persistence, and discipline through their
work. Within this framework of order, the child progresses at their
own pace and rhythm, while discovering the joys of learning, and
developing social and intellectual discipline.

Elementary
The elementary curriculum at CMMS does not merely emphasize content/facts but also higher
order thinking and association between different areas of study. For example, concepts of biology,
geology and history are united in understanding the universe and civilization. Natural sciences lead
to the social and physical sciences, while algebra and geometry concepts emerge from basic
number operations. Language is integrated with creative writing and grammar analysis, and built
into the cultural content of the curriculum.
The CMMS Elementary curriculum is organized into three integrated parts:
The first part focuses on the mastery of fundamental skills and basic core knowledge.
The second part seeks to capture the imagination of the child by introducing the disciplines
of science, mathematics, social studies and language through stories, experiences and
research projects.
The third part is designed to promote in-depth, self-learning in the child by allowing him/her
to explore topics that capture his/her imagination. This approach includes pursuing library
research, gathering information on the web, assembling portfolios and communicating their
work to their peers.
