Elementary
Our Elementary programme has a thoughtfully designed multidisciplinary curriculum that helps the children build upon their natural intellectual curiosity and develop into independent thinkers and confident problem solvers, moving from the concrete ‘what’ to a desire to understand the ‘why and ‘how’.

Curriculum (taught in English and French)
Mathematics and Geometry
Mathematics and Geometry develops from hands on, concrete work to advanced calculations, geometry and problem solving.
Language and Literacy
Language and Literacy helps our students to cultivate their writing skills focusing on structure, grammar, research methods, analysis and public speaking skills.
Culture and Science
Culture and Science enables students to combine subjects such as botany, zoology, cultural and physical geography, matter and astronomy, health sciences, history, environment through research projects and hands on activities and experiments.
Social and Moral Reasoning
Social and Moral Reasoning through the use of daily plans, our students learn about time management and personal responsibility. Community meetings create a sense of belonging and allow for discussion and peer negotiation.
Art and Music
Our Learning Environment
Our Elementary classrooms are fully equipped with Montessori learning materials and areas where collaborative and individual learning can take place. Art and music spaces spark creativity and our well stocked library is a cozy place where imaginations run free.

Our Approach
The Elementary programme builds on our Primary programme. The students continue to work with concrete, hands on materials but the goals change toward developing abstract understanding. Through working with concept-driven objects, our students have a clear understanding of how to do something before moving to pencil and paper abstraction.
Our students use a daily plan to manage their time. They develop intrinsic motivation, learn time management, and self-regulation through choosing when and how to complete their follow-up assignments and research topics. Teachers present targeted lessons to small groups.
