Lower & Upper Elementary (6-12 Years)

The Montessori Lower and Upper Elementary syllabus focuses on holistic, hands-on learning to nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and independence.

 

In Lower Elementary (6–9 years), language includes grammar basics, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, and creative writing. Mathematics covers advanced arithmetic, fractions, geometry, and real-life word problems. Cultural studies introduce history through Great Lessons, physical geography, and basic science like botany and zoology. Grace and Courtesy lessons emphasize social behavior, conflict resolution, and environmental respect, while Practical Life activities focus on advanced motor skills, gardening, and cooking.

 

In Upper Elementary (9–12 years), language expands to essay writing, literature analysis, advanced grammar, and etymology. Mathematics progresses to algebra, geometry concepts like area and volume, and complex problem-solving. Cultural studies deepen with a focus on civilizations, ecological studies, and science experiments in physics, chemistry, and biology. Grace and Courtesy lessons build leadership and mentoring skills, while Practical Life includes entrepreneurial projects and community engagement. Both levels integrate Cosmic Education, emphasizing the interconnectedness of subjects and the universe, and use Montessori materials for hands-on, individualized learning.

The Story of the Universe Introduces the origin of the cosmos, planets, and natural laws, inspiring children to explore physics, chemistry, and astronomy.

The Story of Life

The Story of Life covers the evolution of life on Earth, from simple organisms to complex beings, prompting studies in biology and ecology.

The Story of Humans

The Story of Humans highlights the development of human civilizations, inventions, and cultures, paving the way for history and anthropology.

The Story of Language

The Story of the Great River

The Story of the Great River is a Montessori analogy that represents the blood flow in the human body. It illustrates how the blood, like a river, carries nutrients, oxygen, and waste products throughout the body, sustaining life and maintaining balance. This story helps children understand the circulatory system in a vivid and relatable way.
