Pre-School
For
children from 3-5 years of age - 5 mornings with option of 3 or
5 afternoons
In the mixed age group classes, the
children are exposed to an academically and culturally enriched
environment. The children learn respect for themselves, others,
and their surroundings while they work together. They are given
freedom of choice and movement within a well ordered and carefully prepared
social community and are guided by the teacher to explore and develop at
their own pace. The areas of learning in the classroom include
practical life, sensorial, math, language, science, geography, art, and
music. The aim of the program is to help the child develop all
aspects of his personality by fostering independence, confidence,
concentration, self-motivation and a love of learning.
The afternoon program provides an
extension to the mixed age group morning class
True to Montessori philosophy, children pursue individual interests,
working at their own level and pace. They are free to work with
materials of their choice, alone or with others. Teachers
present both individual and small group lessons, focusing mainly on
literature, geography, science and the arts. Students bring
their own lunch to school each day from home.
