Elementary Program

An academic program for students 6-9 years old.

The Montessori elementary setting is a vibrant and dynamic environment where children are encouraged to develop independence, collaborate with others, explore their interests, build confidence, engage their imagination, stay energized, and hone their social skills—all while experiencing the joy of learning.

Multilingual Environment

By integrating French, Mandarin, and Spanish into daily lessons, a Montessori school not only promotes linguistic proficiency but also cultivates cultural awareness, cognitive flexibility, and global citizenship among its students. This approach aligns with the Montessori commitment to providing a comprehensive and enriching educational experience that prepares children for success in an increasingly interconnected world.

Independence

Montessori elementary classrooms provide children with opportunities to develop independence in their learning. Students have the freedom to choose their work, set their pace, and manage their time, fostering a sense of responsibility and self-reliance.

Collaboration

While independence is emphasized, Montessori also recognizes the importance of collaboration. Children work together in multi-age classrooms, where older students often mentor younger ones. Cooperative learning activities and group projects encourage teamwork and communication skills.

Exploration

Montessori elementary education values hands-on exploration and discovery. Children engage with a wide range of Montessori materials, resources, and experiences that spark their curiosity and encourage them to delve deeper into topics of interest.

Confidence

Through the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace, children in Montessori elementary classrooms develop confidence in their abilities. They are encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from failure, fostering a growth mindset and resilience.

Energy

Montessori classrooms are dynamic and lively spaces where children are actively engaged in learning. The hands-on, experiential approach to education keeps children energized and motivated to explore and discover new ideas and concepts.

Imagination

Montessori education nurtures children's imagination and creativity. Open-ended materials and activities stimulate imaginative play and problem-solving, allowing children to express themselves freely and think outside the box.

Social Skills

Montessori elementary classrooms provide ample opportunities for children to develop social skills and emotional intelligence. Through interactions with peers, collaborative projects, and group discussions, children learn important social skills such as empathy, conflict resolution, and cooperation.
