The Montessori curriculum is organized into a mosaic of integrated studies in contrast with the traditional education methods in which the curriculum is compartmentalized into subjects which are treated separately.
Our course of study implements a thematic approach that ties the various disciplines of the curriculum together into studies of the physical universe the natural world and the human experience.
Our curriculum includes language arts (elements of reading spelling handwriting and Spanish language) mathematics and geometry history science art music and physical education. Each classroom has access to our campus library. We also have frequent assemblies featuring visiting artists musicians spiritual and cultural speakers and career professionals. Parents are welcome to attend.
