Upper Elementary (grades 4-6)
Mallard Creek Campus

The goal of the elementary curriculum is to capture the child’s attention and help the student reach a better understanding of his/her world, how it functions and how it directly affects each child. Field trips enable the child to extend the classroom into the world to enhance understanding of the environment. All areas of the curriculum are interrelated. Major subject areas are mathematics, reading, language arts, science, cultural subjects, art and music. The Montessori program for the elementary student is strong and well-rounded mixing developmental skills, research and creativity with an understanding of our world. Students are involved in research projects in the cultural areas from the beginning of the grades. The students become so involved with their projects that they do them not because they have to, but because they have inquiring natures and questioning minds. They are looking for reasons, not simple answers. In addition to the Montessori curriculum there are special classes in Spanish, visual arts and physical education incorporated into the week.
