At this level, the true Montessori technique and procedures really begin to take hold. Strength in phonics and language skills come to the forefront. This is the heart of the Montessori method which will allow the student develop and reach their full potential. Math, language skills, reading and writing will all be emphasized so that the student may advance with total confidence in their ability. The students social setting is enhanced which allows the children to develop relationships and friendships which are essential for future growth. Because of the low student to teacher ratio (1 to 9) our staff get to know the children on a personal basis and become part of the extended family. This is an ideal environment for any 1st to 5th grader.
