Our Curriculum

We implement the Montessori curriculum which offers a complete range of subject areas consisting of Practical Life Exercises, Sensorial Studies, Mathematics, Language, and Cultural Studies. A thematic web curriculum is implemented in all five areas throughout the academic year, making an interdisciplinary approach to learning which helps build a more comprehensive understanding of concepts taught in the minds of our students.

• The Montessori method:

   

  • Unites work and play in a meaningful way

  • Satisfies children’s natural curiosity and develops a love of learning Teaches new concepts through hands-on exploration using Montessori learning materials

  • Promotes independence and self-esteem by allowing children to “do it themselve” without help from adults

  • Allows for movement in the classroom, giving children the opportunity to explore and socialize

  • To enrich children wholistically, we also have the following complementary programs in place:
