The 5 Key Areas Of Learning Set Your Child Up For Success
Your child explores activities that cover Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Culture—the Montessori areas of learning. A well-rounded, engaging private elementary school education lays strong foundations for the future.
Enrichments Include Yoga, STEM, & Violin With A Professional
Your child builds a broad skill set with STEM activities, art, drama, yoga, and Spanish. Plus, enroll them in violin lessons, and they learn from a Mississippi Symphony musician. A private elementary school setting opens a world of enriching opportunities.
Montessori Materials Build Concrete Skills
In the lower Montessori elementary school class, your child uses special Montessori materials, which demonstrate why and how things work, providing a strong, concrete understanding of concepts, and laying the foundation for abstract reasoning.
Lower-elementary materials include:
- Timelines, which help children orient themselves within the universe and history.
- Tone bars, which cover 2 octaves and introduce children to musical scales.
- Grammar symbols, which assign a colour and a symbol to each part of speech, so children can explore sentence structure.
- The Great Books, classic literature to inspire a love of stories and reading.
Your Child Makes Friends With Social-Emotional Guidance
Your elementary child is very social, and their teachers support their flourishing friendships by promoting cooperation, fairness, and working together. Watch as their social skills grow alongside empathy, sharing, and manners.

Ancient cultures, fine arts, ecology, inclusiveness, astronomy and so many more areas are integrated. The boys talk about things that I didn’t hear about until much later in my education. The parents are actively involved with each other as well. I am glad they are able to have this immersive experience.
