Lower Elementary Curriculum

Grace Montessori Academy’s mission is to educate students using the Montessori method within the framework of a Christian worldview. Our curriculum is academically challenging and leads children to an understanding of the world as a Christian. Each avenue is taught from a perspective which encourages the children to stand in awe of God and His wonderful creation. Everything we study is presented with order and beauty, made appropriate and meaningful for young learners

Children in the 6-9 age group are starting to realize that the world is an enormous, interesting place. They are primed to study continents, cultures, scientific concepts, and great literature. The world becomes their classroom. The carefully developed elementary curriculum guides the child through identifying, classifying, and researching all of the fascinating concepts in each chosen field of study. The areas of practical life, language, math, geometry, botany, zoology, geography, and history are all represented in the classroom, with materials that lead the child to abstraction of the fundamental concepts in each area. Our lessons are aesthetically pleasing, yet rigorous and engaging, designed with intentional purpose and meaning. We strongly believe that children learn better in a multi-sensory environment.
