Elementary Program

8:30am–3:30pm

Such traditional subjects as reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography and history are included in our Montessori Elementary program, together with art, music and Spanish.  The materials are arranged so that as the child moves through the directed steps, which can be mastered easily, learning is a joy.  The child has freedom to choose work but must do so responsibly and under the guidance of the teacher.
