The Montessori elementary program focuses on decision making, problem solving, and time management within the context of academics. Mathematics, geometry, science, language arts, history, and geography form the core curriculum.

A Montessori elementary education draws upon the independence of the student, encouraging self-directed study and independent research while developing skills and knowledge through individual instruction and small-group lessons. Students learn abstract concepts by working with concrete material. The program meets or exceeds all state standards.

Montessori logic dictates a learning sequence that begins with global concepts and builds toward specific details. For example, a student will move from the study of the globe to the study of the continents or from the study of the decimal system to the study of the different mathematical operations.

Teachers combine high expectations for children with hands-on, challenging, and engaging materials in an environment designed to foster academic and social skills.
