The primary classroom is designed for open learning for children ages 2 1/2 through 6. It is broken into five main areas of learning which include Practical Life Sensorial Language Mathematics and Cultural Studies.
The Elementary program offered builds on the Primary experience. In the Montessori elementary the child’s own questions provide the basis for exploration of the world. Because those questions are heeded and nurtured the child truly connects with knowledge. Subject matter is made relevant to the child’s personal learning journey providing an inner motivation. A Montessori education does not give a child a collection of isolated facts but rather shares a vision of interrelated knowledge and a love of learning.
