What is Montessori Elementary Education?
The Montessori elementary environment responds to the elementary-aged child’s expanding view of the universe. Children learn in a class of multi age group of 1st grade – 3rd grade and 4th grad – 6th grad. Some of the same materials from the preschool classroom are present, to be used in more complex ways according to the child’s development. In addition, many new materials are introduced as the child moves toward abstract thinking, developing his imagination to embrace concepts larger than his immediate environment.
