LOWER ELEMENTARY

In Lower Elementary, an engaging and highly integrated program of study supports young students’ emerging social awareness and increased curiosity about the world around us, while reinforcing a concrete understanding of foundational skills. Through what Dr. Montessori termed “cosmic education,” elementary students acquire a sense of connection to the universe and an awareness of the interdependence of all living things, preparing the child for global citizenry.

Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core.
