Upper Elementary

The task of any Montessori School during the grade school years is to assist the child in his own natural development. Lessons are taught that reinforce and expand on previous years from Primary through Lower Elementary with a new emphasis on abstract thinking. Another important component to the Upper Elementary curriculum is experiencing life first hand by "Going Out" into the local community bringing the outside world closer to the child.

Sparking each child's imagination through impressionistic lessons provides key experiences necessary for cognitive development. he study of the earth and all living things, the history of mankind, and marks of civilization dominate our cultural studies. A central recurring theme throughout the elementary program is the concept of the order and interrelatedness of all elements of the universe. The elementary program also provides opportunities for self expression and education in relation to psychic development. We are preparing children to be independent, self sufficient problem solvers.
