Montessori Education For Upper Elementary | 9 - 12 Years
An Integrated Approach For “Whole-Child” Learning
The Montessori Method uses your child’s natural curiosity to teach zoology, biology, Earth science, and geography while strengthening reading and writing skills. As they explore the universe’s history, your child finds their place in it and draws inspiration from it.
Social-Emotional Skills For A Successful Future
Your child’s quest to learn about the self and the world picks up pace in upper-elementary. Their nurturing teachers help them explore and understand the rules of society so they can navigate social and emotional situations with comprehension and ease.
Qualified Teachers Observe & Guide Independent Study
Your child’s teacher gives them the gift of time to fully develop, understand, and master concepts in a supportive, respectful environment. With the freedom to immerse in an activity or project without interruption, they learn how to learn and enjoy a sense of autonomy.
STEM Projects Encourage Out-Of-The-Box Thinking
Project-based learning gives your child focus and purpose. As they work with peers on activities that explore STEM (science, tech, engineering, and math), they learn to research, experiment, hypothesize, and synthesize their independent studies into a group effort.
Deadlines Foster Time-Management Skills
Part of their project work includes working towards a deadline for submission. Your child works with a calendar so they know when their assignments are due, and learns important life skills like prioritization and delegation.
Enrichments Include Yoga, Spanish, & Music
To develop the “whole child,” teachers integrate music, art, and drama for self-expression. Yoga helps elementary students build mindfulness skills, and Spanish lessons give them an additional linguistic edge.
Your Child Is Happy & Healthy With Lots Of Outdoor Time
Your growing pre-teen has lots of energy to burn off at this age. They enjoy plenty of time outdoors, surrounded by beautiful parkland, running, playing, building sports skills, and strengthening friendships in the fresh air.
Nutritious Food For Focused Minds
Your child enjoys a healthy lunch and nutrient-rich snacks every day to keep their energy levels up as they learn and grow. A dedicated cook prepares everything onsite in a nut-free environment where the emphasis is on organic ingredients.

Field Trips Encourage Civic Responsibility
Elementary students enjoy “Going Out” as part of their integrated curriculum. Trips to the nearby lake and State Capital instill a sense of pride in where they’re from, and visits to science, art, and agriculture museums broaden their learning.
