The Lower Elementary program at Montessori Academy of Virginia offers a rich, expansive curriculum that fosters growth in imagination, social skills, and creativity.
It builds upon the early Montessori foundation, integrating subjects like Math, Sciences, History, and Language Arts. With a focus on holistic development, the program encourages open-ended research, moral learning, and intellectual curiosity to prepare students for future challenges.
The Lower Elementary program offers your children an unparalleled opportunity for growth in the next stage of their Montessori journey. Your imaginative, social and creative child needs an environment with appropriate freedom with limitations, guided by an expansive curriculum to support their curiosity and prepare them for the challenges of the future.
Parents who choose Montessori for their Preschoolers and Kindergartners, complete the full cycle of early learning at the Elementary grade levels. To achieve this, The Montessori Academy has a complete Elementary program, first grade through fifth grade. Our Elementary program changes and builds upon itself with the transforming developmental needs of each student. It offers a continuum, built on their Kindergarten experiences to continue their academic growth.
The students learn within a philosophical system by asking questions, conducting open-ended research, and completing in-depth studies; with the use of timelines and other visual aids that provide a linguistic and visual overview of each subject area. Studies are integrated not only in terms of subject matter but in terms of moral learning as well. This results in appreciation and respect for all life, social and emotional growth, moral empathy and respect for each individual including developing positive peer relationships.
Our Elementary teachers are trained to integrate all subjects, not as isolated disciplines but as part of a complete intellectual education. As in the PreK and Kindergarten classrooms, the Montessori materials are a means to an end. The Elementary program consists of connective lessons integrating Math, Geometry, Sciences, Geography, History, Language Arts, and STEM subjects.
