Primary Curriculum
What Will Your Child Learn?
Through our mixed-age classroom setting, older children serve as mentors and role models, while younger children benefit from observing and learning from their peers. Collaboration, cooperation, and mutual respect are fostered, creating a supportive community where children feel empowered to express themselves, take risks, and learn from both success and failure.
Central to the Montessori approach is the concept of “freedom within limits,” where children are given the autonomy to choose their activities within a structured framework that promotes responsibility and respect for oneself, others, and the environment. This fosters a sense of ownership over one’s learning and encourages intrinsic motivation and self-discipline while using grace and courtesy with themselves and others. Please explore the tabs below.
