Our morning curriculum focuses on children aged 6 - 12 years old which builds upon the foundational skills and knowledge gained in the early childhood years. Some key aspects of the Montessori curriculum for this age group include:
Further exploration of cultural subjects: Children continue to learn about the world and its cultures through subjects such as geography, history, and cultural studies.
Advanced mathematical concepts: Children build upon their early mathematical foundation and learn more advanced concepts, such as decimals, fractions, and geometry.
Continued language development: Children continue to develop their language skills, including reading, writing, and public speaking.
Science and technology: Children are introduced to more advanced scientific concepts, such as physics, biology, and chemistry, as well as technology and computer skills.
Art and music: Children continue to have opportunities to express themselves through art and music, building upon the skills and knowledge they gained in the early childhood years.
Children will be engaged in their individual learning in the morning cycle Monday - Thursday.
Our afternoon outdoor curriculum provides children with opportunities to connect with nature and develop an appreciation for the environment. It offers hands-on, experiential learning that encourages children to be active, creative, and responsible learners.
This will include elements such as:
Nature-based learning: Children study and learn about plants, animals, and ecosystems through hands-on activities and field trips.
Environmental education: Children learn about environmental issues, such as conservation and sustainability, and develop a sense of responsibility for the natural world.
Physical education: Children engage in physical activities that are based in nature, such as hiking, gardening, and outdoor games.
Social and emotional learning: Children have opportunities to develop social and emotional skills, such as teamwork, empathy, and resilience, through outdoor experiences.
Community service: Children have opportunities to engage in community service projects, which help them understand their role in the world and develop a sense of social responsibility.
