Upper Elementary
Children in Upper Elementary (grades four, five, and six) enjoy a three year cycle of study that challenges students academically while promoting confidence and independence. Multi-age classes encourage the students to interact with both younger and older classmates. In Upper Elementary children learn to problem solve, to synthesize information, to work collaboratively, to think critically and analytically, and to communicate their thoughts and ideas verbally and in writing.
The school day begins with creative writing, followed by an uninterrupted work period allowing students to concentrate on math and language skills. The work in these areas is largely individualized. Lessons are given to one child or to a small group utilizing an extensive array of Montessori materials. Science, social studies, literature groups, art, music, physical education, drama, and Spanish are scheduled throughout the remainder of the day. Prior attendance at a Montessori program is not a prerequisite for admission.
