LOWER ELEMENTARY        

Lower Elementary (a multi-age environment) curricula responds to three important stages: (1) the transition of the child’s mind from concrete to abstract reasoning, (2) the birth of a moral sense, and (3) the intensification of the drive to explore the natural and social environment. The child at this stage of life shows a growing capacity for tackling problems, for reasoning, socializing, and harnessing the imagination.

As children develop in these elementary years, the Montessori curriculum focuses on physical, social and moral development, as well as, cognitive development. Our curriculum centers on sparking imagination with impressionistic stories to introduce large scope, complex concepts. (Five Great Lessons) This cultural-based curriculum integrates history, geography, mathematics, science, biology, language, literature, art, music, and foreign language. This interdisciplinary approach helps children build creative and critical thinking skills.
