About the Upper Elementary Curriculum
(ages 10-12)
In an exciting research style of learning, elementary children work in small groups on
a variety of projects which spark the imagination and engage the intellect. Lessons given
by trained Montessori teachers direct the children toward activities which help them to
develop reasoning abilities and life skills. The appetite of children, at this age, to
understand the universe and their place in it, directs the elementary work toward all
aspects of culture.
Elementary studies include geography, biology, history, language,
mathematics in all its branches, science, music and art. Exploration of each area is
encouraged through trips outside the classroom to community resources, such as a library,
planetarium, botanical garden, science center, factory or hospital. This inclusive
approach to education fosters a feeling of connectedness to all humanity, and encourages
their natural desire to make contributions to the world.
Community Service: Last year the 4th and 5th years performed
on their recorders and had lunch with the senior citizens from the
Marietta Senior Center. The seniors had such a delightful time with
the youths and appreciated it so much. This is just one more learning
and rewarding experience your young child may experience by getting
involved with their community.
