BEYOND MONTESSORI SCHOOL EARLY ELEMENTARY PROGRAM

The transition from Casa to Elementary is smooth within the Montessori classroom. Many materials overlap in the beginning and are used in an efficient manner so that children adapt easily to the next level of education, at BMS we have a flair for going over and above standard education!

Curriculum:

Mathematics

When learning math within the Montessori classroom, the aim is to begin with concrete materials that the child can see and touch and slowly move to a more abstract way of learning. Standard operations, decimals, fractions, algebra, money and measurements are just some of the aspects of learning math.

Geometry

In the elementary classroom, geometry continues from the sensorial area of the Casa classroom. What used to be different types of triangles now have angles, parts and specific names. Within geometry, children have a greater sense of what they see in every day life.

Language

When a child first learns a phonetic sound, they begin to associate that sound to everything they see and hear. By the time a child reaches elementary, reading has turned into understanding every word in a sentence and their grammatical role. Language includes enjoying literature, creative writing, editing and truly understanding the basis of the English language.
