About
Our Upper Elementary (Ages 9-12, grades 4-6) offers a hybrid educational model that combines the Montessori philosophy of student-centered learning with elements of more traditional curriculums. In our program, students have the opportunity to set the pace of their education while also experiencing structured elements such as due dates, scheduled activities, quizzes, and tests.
Our curriculum is designed to prepare students for life through a variety of daily activities:
Core Academics: Each morning, students engage in core academic subjects, including reading, writing, math, spelling, and grammar, history, and science for three hours.
Character Development: We believe in developing the whole child. In doing so we expect children to adhere to a very strict behavior code. We believe that part of developing young men and women into the leaders of tomorrow takes consistency and holding them to high standards of respect, responsibility, and integrity, fostering habits that will guide them to become principled and capable leaders in the future.
Project Based Learning (PBL): PBL is an educational approach where students engage in hands-on, real-world projects to explore and understand complex concepts. Projects typically last 4-6 weeks, allowing students to immerse themselves deeply in a topic, apply knowledge across various subjects, and develop critical skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and creativity.
Extras: We offer a variety of enriching activities such as music, art, cooking, sewing, knitting, drama, woodworking, archery, and monthly field trips.
