The Montessori elementary environment caters to children aged six to twelve, aligning with the Montessori second plane of development. At this stage, children experience rapid intellectual growth, developing the ability for rational thinking and imagination. They are naturally curious, seeking to understand the how and why of things. Building on their primary experiences, they have a solid foundation for further knowledge exploration. Our teachers are specially trained to support children in this crucial developmental phase by carefully preparing an environment that meets their needs.
Following Dr. Maria Montessori’s principles of cosmic education, children explore the history of the world, humanity, and the creation of the universe, thus helping them find their place in society. They pursue their interests in the field of literature, mathematics, science, art, music, physical education and culture through research, experiments, projects, and field trips.
Montessori elementary environment for ages 6 to 12 years, supports emotional and intellectual growth, emphasizing cooperation over competition in mixed-age group classrooms. We balance intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development with individualized instructions and continuous evaluation.
Mixed-Age group Classrooms: Grouping children aged 6-9 and 9-12 years promotes cognitive development and peer learning, allowing younger children to learn from older ones and older children to develop leadership skills.
Freedom of Choice: Children have the freedom to choose their activities and workspaces, fostering independence and boosting self-confidence.
Self-Directed Learning: Encouraging children to develop a love for learning without relying on external rewards, ensuring they remain grounded and believe in their efforts.
Contextual Learning: Learning occurs through hands-on experiences such as projects, experiments, nature walks, research, and field trips, connecting lessons with real-world applications to deepen understanding and relevance.
Cosmic Education: We integrate Dr. Maria Montessori’s principles of cosmic education, which explores the interconnectedness of all life and promotes understanding of one’s place in the universe.
Parent-Teacher partnership: We collaborate with the parents to support child’s academic, social, and emotional progress.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.” — Dr. Maria Montessori
