Elementary Classroom
Students aged 6 and older are ready for intellectual work on an abstract level. Imagination, moral conscience, and cultural awareness can be said to be the "sensitive periods" of this stage. As the student's skills in mathematics and language are being developed, the elementary curriculum (for ages 6 to 12) presents opportunities to explore cultural subjects – science, history, geography, and the arts and sciences.
The broad variety of Montessori materials in the elementary classroom stimulates multi-sensory learning and independent thinking. The classroom community is a learning laboratory for the child's responsible participation within a democratic society. Frequent field trips and interactions with people from throughout the community are part of the elementary experience.
