Mixed-Age Classes Encourage Social Learning

In a small group of 5, 6, and 7-year-olds, students build strong bonds. Younger children look up to their older peers, who help their little friends and encourage their efforts. Classmates celebrate each other’s accomplishments and take pride in their responsibilities.

Student-Led Learning Promotes Autonomy & Independence

Children engage with the work that interests them, repeating each activity and persevering through its challenges until they reach mastery. This Montessori-inspired approach promotes cognitive skills, emotional growth, and self-reliance for a whole-child approach.

Practical Skills That Set Children Up For Success

The Montessori Method emphasizes life skills to balance academics. Sapling students practice dressing, washing, preparing food, tidying, and gardening. They also work on their social interactions to create a harmonious community and develop their physical control with engaging games and activities.

Enrichments Elevate The Learning Experience

Your child explores diverse activities that introduce new ideas, skills, and concepts. Regular music sessions invite self-expression while yoga builds mindfulness and balance. STEAM (science, tech, engineering, art, and math) activities encourage problem-solving and investigation for a well-rounded experience.
