Elementary Montessori Programme

The Elementary Montessori Programme seamlessly takes on from the Kindergarten programme and  addresses the developmental needs of children in the age group 6 years to 9 years in mixed Environments of different ages.

Children in this age group move on from being sensorial explorers to conceptual explorers. They continue to learn through the use of concrete materials but now they gradually move towards drawing abstractions from the material. The Elementary Montessori curriculum is aimed at igniting the imagination and curiosity of the students. It helps the students to develop their powers of reasoning, abstraction and imagination and apply their knowledge to discover and expand their world further.

As children move into middle school,  preparation for the challenges of high school begin. Children in this age group have a growing, if unarticulated, need to shoulder responsibility and to be allowed independence. Opportunities are provided to address these needs on a regular basis.

The focus is on both academic content and the development of essential skills like critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and effective oral and written communication. 

Children are divided into four Houses. This teaches them to cooperate and work in groups across different ages. It also teaches them to mentor one another. Children are also encouraged to take part in all co curricular activities-competitive and non-competitive.

Counselling on a regular basis and also for individual needs is provided by the counselling department. The students’ growing maturity is acknowledged through responsibilities and they are guided to face and handle everyday situations. Career counselling forms an integral part of the curriculum. Students are professionally guided to make informed choices on the subjects and streams to pursue keeping their strengths and aptitude in mind.

As students move into the final years of their schooling, we ensure they are guided, engaged and motivated in a more adult –oriented manner. Teaching techniques become more comprehensive. Assignments demand more involvement and independent thinking. Critical thinking and analytical skills are honed, in preparation for the real world environment that they will soon be entering and take the All India Senior Secondary Examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education.
