Curriculum

The curriculum offered is the "Montessori Method" for children ages 2½ years old through Grade 5. Our method nurtures your child to continue to grow at the child’s own pace within an individualized learning framework. Besides Language, Arithmetic, Cultural Studies and Geography, the children also work with activities that develop and strengthen their muscular coordination, motor skills, concentration and enhance their sensory awareness. The children also have many opportunities to develop their social skills.
