​Elementary aged children have reasoning minds, a thirst for knowledge, a sense of wonder, an attraction to peers and are growing towards intellectual independence.  

​

In a Montessori elementary setting, the children are offered the big picture through the Great Stories, which provides a context for their learning and allows your child to make connections between subjects. 

​

Your child moves from using the concrete Montessori elementary materials to the abstract, to explore the areas of language, maths, geometry, geography, history, botany, zoology, science and music. 

​

We provide the space for your child to work collaboratively with their mixed-aged peers on projects and for them to act as teachers of and leaders of one-another. 

 

Elementary aged children are learning to work in groups and are testing out their moral stance - we provide a practice community to support these all important skills that will hold your child in good stead as they develop into the teenage years and into adulthood.

​

A Montessori environment promotes time management, priority setting and decision making skills - which are key executive functions for successful living and work. 

 

​We encourage children to think for themselves, to be curious and to explore the answers to their questions - we help the children to say:
