Elementary Education
 

"The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say,
'the children are now working as if I did not exist."
-
Maria Montessori

The Elementary Program
(Grades 1 - 6 • Ages 6 - 12)

The Elementary program provides an expanded learning situation for the child who is now interested in relating to the world around him. Field trips, not just to see, but to study and understand, are important. Reading is encouraged by teacher-made materials.

 
The Elementary Program

Graphic Charts & Impressionistic materials stimulate the imagination and continued development of reading skills, vocabulary, spelling and writing skills as they convey thoughts and information with excitement about the world around us. All areas of study are intertwined.

Math, Geometry & Algebra are learned by manipulation of materials and desire to self-discover the fantastic secrets of numbers.

Cultural Arts are learned through a study of the history of arts, use of various media, contribution of countries and people, literature, dance, drama and music.

The Child is encouraged to achieve for his own reward and self challenge. The directress guides the child to understand himself and others and to develop emotionally, imaginatively, and morally.
