In the morning the Kindergarten students enjoy a well equipped Montessori environment in a mixed age group setting. They spend the afternoon with different teachers in an enrichment program which includes writing, handwriting, math, music, science, geography, history, drama and art. The physical education program emphasizes gross motor development and includes gymnastics and swimming. A foreign language is introduced with concentration on the spoken language, including songs and games. Special trips are planned during the year.
Students bring their lunch.
The Elementary program consists of a lower and an upper elementary class. The classrooms are very structured with concrete hands-on materials, which are sequentially arranged to allow the children the freedom to learn at their own pace. Individual or small presentations encourage the children to move from concrete to abstract understandings. In the cultural subjects, the children are given a framework to understand the larger concepts while doing activities to master finer details. Creative and report writing is done on paper or on the many classroom computers during a daily Writing Workshop.
