Lower Elementary
The Lower Elementary curriculum focuses on strengthening skills in all academic areas. Work activities designed to develop critical thinking are introduced. Independence and self-management skills are cultivated through the use of daily and weekly planners. Communication skills and sense of community are cultivated through the culture curriculum, designed to instill in students a broader view of the world and a growing understanding of their place in it.A primary goal of the Lower Elementary Program is to prepare students for successful learning at the Upper Elementary level. To that end, supplemental non-Montessori activities are introduced at a growing rate around Third Grade along with opportunities for leadership and mentorship.
