1st grade - 3rd grade
Imagination & Interconnectedness
Our Lower Elementary classrooms are filled with creativity and imagination! In these dynamic environments, you will see students working individually or in small groups, and engaged with teachers in lessons. The curriculum is designed to answer the “why” and “what” questions that children naturally begin to ask at around six:
Each day students plan and prioritize their work for that day. They choose the order in which individual math, language, and cultural lessons are completed. This empowers students as it gives them responsibility for their time, while fostering time-management and self-discipline. Teachers directly instruct students in "skill" lessons and then students practice math, literacy, etc. In “application” the students apply these “skills” to their integrated studies in the humanities and sciences.
Teachers encourage students to pursue their passions through independent field trips, research, and presentations. Since children progress through the Lower Elementary curriculum at their own pace, they are generally advanced in their academic knowledge.
Music, drama, physical education, Spanish and art classes, taught by specialists, are part of the weekly curriculum. In addition to numerous field trips, all 1st to 3rd Year students participate in a spring overnight, and 3rd Year students take a much anticipated annual trip in the fall.
“ I highly recommend Montessori School of Evergreen! It is a very special place. The Teachers and Staff always go above and beyond, my son is so happy there and looks forward to
going to school, MSE follows the Montessori Method, and so many more qualities. The Teachers, Staff and Parents have created a wonderful community for the kids to thrive. MSE not only teaches different subjects, languages, art, etc., but it also teaches your child to be a better person in the school community and outside of the school community. We are
thrilled to have our son at MSE. MSE is truly a gem!”
