The Montessori Elementary Program
(Ages 6-9 and 9-12)
Our Montessori Elementary program for children ages 6-12 is designed to nurture curiosity, independence and a deep love of learning. During these years, children become eager explorers of the wider world - asking big questions, seeking to understand how things work, and discovering their unique interests and talents.
Exploration
At the elementary level, Montessori education comes alive with curiosity, exploration, and growing independence. Children ages 6–12 are natural investigators—they want to know how things work, why people do what they do, and what their place is in the world. Our Montessori Elementary program nurtures that excitement and helps children develop into confident, capable, and compassionate learners.
Hands-on Learning
In multi-age classrooms, students work both collaboratively and independently on meaningful, hands-on projects that connect academic concepts with real-life experiences. An integrated curriculum encompasses language, mathematics, geometry, history, geography, and the sciences, presented in a way that sparks imagination and encourages critical thinking.
Learning is Self-Paced
Students move at their own pace, developing initiative, focus, and problem-solving skills while also learning to work as part of a community. Outdoor experiences, service projects, and “going out” field studies extend learning beyond the classroom and encourage a sense of responsibility for the wider world.
Outcomes
Families often find that Montessori Elementary students are motivated, joyful learners who take ownership of their education—building a strong foundation not just for future academics, but for lifelong curiosity and confidence.
