In Montessori Elementary classrooms, the focus shifts from individual self-care and sensorial learning (as in the preschool years) to more collaborative and abstract thinking experiences. Students are encouraged to explore subjects such as mathematics, language arts, science, and culture through hands-on activities and experiential learning. The curriculum is often integrated and interconnected, allowing children to make connections between different subjects and develop a holistic understanding of the world.

 

Montessori Elementary classrooms emphasize individualized learning, fostering a sense of independence, responsibility, and critical thinking. Teachers act as guides, facilitating the learning process and encouraging students to follow their interests while meeting academic standards. This approach aims to cultivate lifelong learners who are not only knowledgeable but also socially aware and capable of contributing meaningfully to their communities.
