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.
