LOWER
ELEMENTARY
- GRADES 1-4
...
Our
Lower Elementary program provides a continuation of
the Montessori Method. Students coming from a Montessori
preschool build on that experience, however we welcome
children from traditional preschools as well.
Children are innately curious and joyful learners.
We provide a safe and nurturing environment in which
our students discover and learn to appreciate the
interconnectedness and interdependence of all life.
At this stage of development students are interested
in reasons, explanations and time perspective, rather
that just “what and where.” We recognize
the individual needs and learning styles of each student
and that educational success involves more than academic
skills. Our well-balanced program includes sports,
music, art, horseback riding, tennis and many other
extra-curricular opportunities for the children to
experience.
Each student is encouraged to work to his/her full
potential. Children are allowed to make choices in
the classroom and control their own pace of learning.
Our students develop self confidence, independence,
fine critical thinking skills and become excellent
problem-solvers.
