The Montessori Elementary Programme, as prescribed by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), is a natural extension of the Montessori Primary Programme.
The students are grouped into classes of Lower Elementary (six to nine year olds) and Upper Elementary (nine to twelve year olds).
Lower Elementary students make extensive use of the Montessori didactic materials working from the concrete experience which leads to abstraction and memorization.
Upper Elementary students show a sound understanding of concepts and have acquired basic skills. They do independent research and study and often visit such local facilities as libraries and museums as a logical extension of classroom work.
Students are introduced to new work possibilities daily by their teachers and they choose areas of interest for in-depth study. Experience shows that the children learn best when pursuing their own interests.
Independence, responsibility, industry, self-confidence, and self motivation are the qualities of the most successful Montessori children. These qualities start to develop in the Montessori Primary class and continue to grow from ages six through twelve.
