Children enrolling in the Upper Elementary class must be at least 9 years of age on their first day of school (September 1st).

This program is available five days a week as:
Full day program: 7:45 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

As children enter the Upper Elementary, they continue on the second plane of development. With each Montessori classroom building upon the principles and foundations of the previous class, children continue to gain a deeper understanding in various academic areas, and their sense of place within their classroom community.

When children enter the Upper Elementary, they should be socially and emotionally adjusted beings who feel deeply connected to their Montessori community. As children continue to gain a greater sense of community, they will see an increase in group projects, field studies, and community service events which is a testament to their increasing self-control and blossoming ability to work in partnership with their peers.

The areas of study will comprise of English/ Language Arts • Mathematics • Science • Foreign language • Social studies (Botany, Geography, History, Zoology ) • Design and Technology • ICT • Arts (Music, Dance, Drama and Visual Art) • Physical Education and Health Development • Personal, Moral and Social Development (Life Skills, Community Service and Citizenship) • Religious education.

As children move into the Upper Elementary classroom, they acquire more understanding of abstract concepts. Concrete materials are used to introduce ideas, but children can more easily transfer that knowledge to the abstract.

Our objective is to guide and strengthen the students love of learning by developing their independence and critical thinking skills.
