Elementary

AGES 6-12 YEARS

The Montessori elementary curriculum continues to integrate history, geography, mathematics, science, language, literature, arts, and music; however, students are now ready to move from concrete to more abstract concepts within each subject. As the children connect to the subject matter, they naturally seek additional learning opportunities and are motivated to explore ancillary concepts. By design, the Montessori Method takes full advantage of this curiosity, helping them to seek answers to ideas that interest them, expand their understanding, and apply this newfound knowledge meaningfully.

Additionally, the program focuses on critical thinking, problem-solving, and cooperative learning skills through individual and small-group instruction. Materials and presentations are designed to stimulate the imagination while mastering essential skills. 

As part of the Montessori School of Franklin’s elementary program, students receive additional enrichment programs and participate in various field trips throughout the year. The outdoors is a valued part of the Montessori philosophy.
