Elementary Program
"Students here don't focus on scoring well on milestone tests or compete for the highest grades in the class. My son has been encouraged to expect more from himself and find satisfaction in going through the process of completing the work."

The climate of the Elementary classrooms is noticeably different from the Primary classrooms. The environment accommodates the unique characteristics of Elementary learners. Highly social, intellectually curious, and endowed with great imaginations, Elementary students are eager to explore the world and find their place within it. The Elementary curriculum provides a framework for this exploration through key lessons and materials that stimulate further inquiry. The complete Montessori Elementary program is six years, comprising both Lower and Upper levels.
