Themes
We enrich learning by embracing engaging monthly themes such as “Life Long Ago” and “Around the World.” In “Life Long Ago,” we journey through history, enabling children to gain insights into the past while honing critical thinking skills. With “Around the World,” we explore diverse cultures, fostering global awareness, respect for diversity, and cross-cultural communication. These themes embody our commitment to melding Montessori principles with modern education, delivering a well-rounded learning experience that not only enhances academic excellence but also ignites a lifelong passion for discovery in every student.
Traits
We recognize the significance of social and emotional development. To nurture these vital skills, we place a monthly focus on character traits such as kindness, resilience, and empathy. Through hands-on activities and discussions, our students learn to embody these traits in their daily lives. This deliberate emphasis on character development not only enriches their emotional intelligence but also creates a nurturing and inclusive learning environment. Our goal is to equip students not just with academic prowess but also with the emotional resilience, empathy, and social awareness essential for their personal growth and success in a rapidly changing world.
Project Based Learning
We are dedicated to preparing students for the careers of tomorrow. Our project-based themes are designed to cultivate essential skills and knowledge that lead to success in STEM-based career paths. Here are a few examples of some of our monthly project themes:
Coding and Software Development: Through hands-on coding projects, students learn to speak the language of technology. By creating their own simple functions, our curriculum instills problem-solving skills, computational thinking, and the confidence to tackle complex challenges in the digital world.
Animation and Design: We foster creativity and artistic expression through animation and design projects. Students unleash their imaginations, mastering tools and techniques to create visually unique animations and designs. These skills not only prepare them for further education in animation and design but also enhance their ability to communicate and innovate in any aspect of life.
Business and Entrepreneurship: In our business-themed projects, students embark on entrepreneurial journeys, learning how business works, manage finances, and market their ideas. These hands-on experiences instill an entrepreneurial mindset and critical business acumen, empowering them to thrive and form a deep understanding of the business world..
By combining Montessori principles with cutting-edge STEM education, our project-based themes empower students to excel in STEM-based career paths while fostering a well-rounded skill set that transcends disciplines, ensuring they are prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the future.
What your child will learn
In our dynamic elementary program, we embark on an educational journey that not only answers the inquisitive “where, when, and why” questions that children naturally ponder about the world around them, but also extends the foundation set during our Casa level program. Tailored to each child’s unique starting point, our curriculum evolves to match their growth, ensuring a seamless progression of learning. At the heart of our approach lies a commitment to nurturing individual interests. Our experienced teachers adeptly guide students through an array of captivating subjects within the virtual classroom, fostering a sense of exploration and ownership over their education. From math to language – encompassing printing, cursive, spelling, grammar, reading, and comprehension – history, science, botany, zoology, geography, and geometry, our comprehensive curriculum leaves no stone unturned. With a focus on holistic development, our students actively engage in hands-on projects, delve into captivating novel studies, and demonstrate their prowess through spelling and math tests. At our core, we cultivate a love for learning that propels young minds to confidently embrace challenges, thrive in diverse subjects, and embark on a lifelong journey of intellectual exploration.
