Frequently asked questions
What grades does Elementary serve?
Our Montessori Elementary serves 1st through 6th grade.
How is Montessori Elementary different from a traditional classroom?
Elementary children learn through big, imaginative "Great Lessons," collaborative projects, and hands-on exploration across subjects, in a multi-age classroom that lets each child work at their own level.
Do Elementary students really garden?
Yes — our Elementary students work alongside a Master Gardener in our outdoor classroom, applying science, math, and practical life to real soil and harvest.
Is there reading support?
Yes, we have a Reading Specialist on staff to support each child's literacy development.
How do students transition after 6th grade?
Montessori Elementary graduates leave with strong academic skills, independence, and self-direction that serve them well in middle school and beyond.
