January 25, 2010 (Tuesday) Primary Introduction 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Our Primary program is based on the premise of Maria Montessori’s observations of the young child from ages 3 to 6 (includes Kindergarten year). In response to the child’s natural instincts for learning, and their “absorbent minds”, our Primary classrooms are set up to “follow the child” as they explore their natural environment with respect to science, mathematics, practical life, social skills and language.
January 26, 2010 (Wednesday) Lower Elementary Introduction 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Our Early Elementary program, for children ages 6 to 9 (1st – 3rd grade), has strong academic, cultural and musical foundations. It uses Maria Montessori’s curriculum as the basis of it’s science, history and culture programs. We also emphasize the arts and performance in music as well as other artistic venues, giving the class balance between strong academics as well as self-expression.
January 27, 2010 (Thursday ) Upper Elementary Introduction 6:30 – 8:00 pm
Our Upper Elementary program for children ages 9 to 12 (4th – 6th grade) continues an emphasis on strong academics and cultural expression. We assist the children in their preparation for transition into other school environments, which includes test taking and the refining of academic skills, as well as an emphasis on writing and word comprehension.
