Programmes of Study Montessori: Playing is their job

Primary Level: Entrusting

Montessori is a transition period as children move from the home to the “outside world.� ECE facilities are designed to actively engage children in activities that explore science, language, mathematics, art, drama, music, and physical activity in a purposeful and playful way. Indoor and outdoor play areas allow for a balance of quiet and loud play spaces; for games, sand, water, and pretend fun.

At the primary level an emphasis is made on teaching students the process of learning so that they gain not only knowledge but also an understanding of the process as well as their own individual learning style. A student-focused approach to English, Math, Science and Social Studies is rigorous, yet fosters a lifelong passion for knowledge through engaging instruction and experiential learning.
