The curriculum offered is the "Montessori Method" for children ages 2½ years old through Grade 6. At VFKH, an independent private school, your child is nutured through this method to continue to grow at his or her's own pace within an individualized learning framework. Besides Language, Mathematics, 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. Students also have many opportunities to develop their social skills. Whether your child is preschool, kindergarten or elementary age, VFKH provides the experience to grow in each of these ways.
