The Integrated Montessori Curriculum

Our curriculum is one of integrated studies, rather than a traditional model in which the course of study is compartmentalized into separate subjects, with given topics considered at specific grade levels.

In Montessori, lessons are introduced simply and concretely in the early years, then re-explored in greater depth several times during the following years at increasing degrees of abstraction and complexity.

Our course of study is an integrated thematic approach that ties the separate disciplines of the curriculum together into studies of the physical universe, the world of nature, and the human experience.

This integrated approach is one of our school’s great strengths at every age level.

Within a warm, supportive academic atmosphere, we set a high level of expectation for the quality of thought, work, and mastery of content and skills.

The following links lead to a brief overview of our core curriculum in the areas of language arts,mathematics, social studies, science, sensory training, and practical life for our students age 3 through 6. Please keep in mind that this only represents an overview of the course of study, and is not meant to be complete.

Since our students progress at their own pace, it is not possible to divide up the curriculum by specific grade levels.
