The Six Pillars of Our Montessori Curriculum

The Montessori curriculum is designed to support the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. By focusing on these six pillars, we ensure that your child develops not only key academic skills but also the independence, curiosity, and confidence needed for a lifetime of success.

• Practical Life: Building Independence and Confidence

  Practical Life activities form the foundation of Montessori education, teaching children essential life skills while promoting independence, focus, and responsibility.

  • Examples: Pouring, cleaning, food preparation, tying shoes, and organizing materials.

  • Benefits: Develops fine motor skills, concentration, and a sense of accomplishment as children master everyday tasks.

• Sensorial: Refining the Senses

  Sensorial activities help children explore and classify the world around them by engaging their senses. These exercises are critical for developing observation and analytical skills.

  • Examples: Sorting objects by size, shape, color, texture, or sound; working with tactile boards or color tablets.

  • Benefits: Builds a foundation for more abstract concepts in math, language, and science while enhancing sensory perception.

• Science: Inspiring Curiosity About the Natural World

  Science is a key part of the Montessori curriculum, encouraging children to ask questions, experiment, and explore the natural world.

  • Examples: Studying plant and animal life cycles, observing nature, and conducting hands-on experiments.

  • Benefits: Cultivates curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the environment and ecosystems.

• Cultural Studies: Fostering Global Awareness

  Cultural studies introduce children to geography, history, art, and music, broadening their understanding of the world and its diversity.

  • Examples: Learning about continents, exploring cultural traditions, timelines of history, and art projects inspired by global cultures.

  • Benefits: Encourages respect for diversity, an appreciation for different perspectives, and a sense of global citizenship.

• Language: Building Communication Skills

  Language activities help children develop their ability to express themselves and understand others, laying the groundwork for literacy.

  • Examples: Sandpaper letters to learn phonics, the moveable alphabet for forming words, and storytelling to enhance comprehension.

  • Benefits: Strengthens vocabulary, phonetic awareness, and the ability to read and write confidently.
