Montessori Curriculum

(from public-montessori.org)

Children choose their own work

Children choose their own activities from a range of carefully prepared lessons and materials designed to support children’s natural development and drive to learn.

Trained teachers support children’s development

Teachers trained in Montessori principles and practice present a comprehensive curriculum individualized for each child.

Mixed age groupings

Classrooms serve children in three-year age groupings according to developmental stages. Children can progress naturally as they are ready for more challenging material, build authentic community and learn from both teachers and peers.

Uninterrupted independent work periods

Classrooms offer long uninterrupted periods for independent work, where children build attention, focus, and concentration, while learning at their own pace.

Montessori materials

Hands-on, concrete, self-correcting materials support engagement, curiosity, independence, and self-guided learning.
