Elementary Application

6-12 years

Dr. Montessori observed that the Elementary child is characterized by unique qualities and is oriented toward intellectual investigation and discovery. In an exciting research style of learning, elementary children work in small groups on a variety of projects which spark the imagination and engage the intellect. Lessons given by trained Montessori teachers direct the children toward activities which help them to develop reasoning abilities and life skills. The appetite of the children at this age, to understand the universe and their place in it, directs the elementary work toward all aspects of culture.
