The Montessori curriculum
The classroom is organized into several curriculum areas including: language arts (reading. literature, grammar, creative writing, spelling and handwriting), mathematics and geometry, everyday living skills, sensory awareness exercises and puzzles, geography, history, science, art, music, and movement. Most rooms include a classroom library. Materials are on shelf units on open display ready for use.
The course of study uses an integrated thematic approach that ties the separate disciplines of the curriculum together into studies of the physical universe, the world of nature, and the human experience. Literature, the arts, history, social issues, political science, economics. Science and the study of technology all complement one another. Montessori schools offer a rigorous and innovative academic program.
