Lower Elementary
 Children in the Lower Elementary program enjoy multi-age classes (grades one, two, and three) and a three-year cycle of study. Students learn abstract concepts by working with Montessori materials. Lessons require self discipline and enhance the student’s ability to concentrate. With a low student/teacher ratio and with the help of assistants, a teacher can give patient attention to each student, and can determine a student’s learning style and interests. Prior attendance at a Montessori program is not a prerequisite for admission to the Lower Elementary program.
 There are approximately seventy-five students in Lower Elementary. Students have opportunities to mix with their peers from other classes at certain times throughout the day. The school day allows for blocks of concentrated work (individually, in pairs or, in small groups) in the Montessori Curriculum which includes five areas of study: Practical Life; Sensorial; Language; Math and Culture (science, history, geography, art, music, and Spanish).
