Primary School

(3 - 6 years): Through its enriched curriculum -- language, mathematics, science, history, geography, music, and art -- the school provides "a preparation for life." Emphasis on practical life and sensorial exercises is an integral activity, designed to take advantage of the young child's unique talent to develop his own capabilities. The child learns to respect the feelings and ideas of others, sharing in work and play. Special materials enable the child to learn to care for himself. Lessons in courtesy gives him confidence to deal with everyday situation. The age span of 3 to 6 roughly corresponds to the child's natural stages of development. As he works in a group of children of various ages, abilities, cultures, and interest, the child acquires emotional growth, as well as intellectual progress. The Montessori school provides an environment in which the child may freely develop an inquisitive mind and the social attitudes necessary for a wholesome life. Each child follows his individual program and progresses at his own pace. The instructions materials and equipment provide the core of the child's learning program. The materials are scientifically-designed aids. The materials are on low shelves within easy reach, and the child is encouraged to use them accordingly to his interests.
