The Lower School
The Upper School
The Lower School offers programs for children from 3 to 5 years old. The classroom is divided into the main areas of practical life, sensorial, language, mathematics, art, science, computer and geography. There is also music, Spanish and yoga/gym instruction, along with multicultural studies and celebrations.
The Upper School provides a stimulating environment that builds on the foundation set in Lower School but with more emphasis on academics. Textbooks are used along with advanced Montessori and other materials. The children continue to advance at their own rate, with individualized goals and curriculum tailored to meet different learning styles and needs. It is a non-competitive and supportive environment. Small group meetings in all subjects are an integral part of Upper School for instruction and discussions. The subject areas in Upper School are: language arts (includes Writer's Workshop- an exciting creative writing program in which the children write and publish their own stories), mathematics, science, social studies (genealogy, multicultural studies, geography, world and U.S. history and government), art (creative and art history), music, computer, gym & movement, yoga and Spanish. Upper School children participate in N.Y.S. testing and take a yearly Stanford Achievement Test to aid in curriculum planning and evaluation.
