One of the mai
n tenets of Montessori philosophy is that, given the right materials, classroom environment, and guides (teachers), young people are able to create knowledge for themselves. They are able to teach themselves a variety of topics, from math, to writing, to color theory. But the children are not left entirely alone in their learning process. They spend a good deal of time working with other students. They also frequently work with teachers, both in groups and one-on-one. These regularly scheduled individual lessons help children to benefit academically, as the teacher is able to meet each student’s individual needs.
The Primary Program consists of three levels: Primary One, Primary Two, and Primary Three. The children in this classroom are between ages three and six, with the Primary Threes considered to be at the Kindergarten level. Because children develop at different 
rates and academic ability is not linked with exact age, Montessori schools have multiple grade levels together in each classroom.
The classroom divided into several areas in which the children work on the seven main components of a Montessori curriculum: practical life, sensorial, language, math, geography, science, and art and art history.
learning • diversity • individuality • encouragement • dignity
respect • community • love • fun • joy • home
