The Culture and Science curriculum gives your child the opportunity to learn about the world and his/her place in it, working with activities in geography, history, botany, zoology, and chemistry. These exciting activities appeal to your child’s sense of exploration and will foster a love of learning. Together you will gain an appreciation for the beauty of the world, its inhabitants, and the way it works.

Advanced Practical Life curriculum offer a bridge between the hands-on activities of the early childhood environment and the increasingly abstract ideas presented in the elementary programs. The activities help students develop and practice skills that benefit their work in other parts of the curriculum by increasing their level of concentration and fine motor skills, for example. Learning real-life skills such as gardening, cooking, making crafts, and organizing larger projects, the students also develop independence, social competence, and a sense of responsibility. 

Language Art curriculum builds on the strong foundation of the early childhood program, continuing the students' work with Montessori materials such as the grammar symbols and introducing new materials such as the grammar boxes and sentence analysis chart I. In addition to mastering the skills of writing, reading, and penmanship, students extensively explore word study, the mechanics of writing, and grammar to further enhance their understanding of language and their ability to communication effectively. 

Mathematics 1 continues the work that began in the Montessori early childhood environment, exploring basic math facts and the four operations through the use of hands-on Montessori materials. The curriculum gives students the opportunity to work on increasingly complex and abstract arthimetric concepts, involving larger numbers and place value, by manipulating more abstract materials. 

On the other hands, Montessori mathematics 2 continues the students' exploration of mathematical concepts, focusing on fractions and geometry. The students gain a thorough understanding of fractions and then learn how to perform operations involving fractions unsing Fraction Skittles, Fraction Circles, and other hands-on Montessori materials. The geometry activities also focus on presenting new and increasingly complex ideas through the manipulation of Montessori materials. Concepts are presented in a concrete and sensorial manner through the use of a combination of familiar and new materials, including the Geometric Cabinet, Constructive triangles, Geometry Sticks, Geometric Solids, and more. 

The History curriculum invites students to explore the concept of time moving from a concrete discussion to the more abstract and complex study to timelines - both of life and of people. Students are also introduced to civilizations throughout time, sparking their interest and preparing them for further research. Intertwined with this is a study of the common needs of people and how they apply to each time period. 

The Lower Elementary Physical Geography curriculum builds on the knowledge students developed in the early childhood program, moving from concrete to a more abstract understanding of our planet. Students study the earth's physical environment and the processes that form its features through the study of maps, the earth and the sun, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the lithosphere. Through their active exploration, students gain an appreciation of the world's beauty, its frigile ecosystem, and the power of nature. 

On the other hand, the Cultural Geography focuses on the people and regions of earth and provides students with a different lens through which to view our world. Students explore each og the continents, the people who live there, and cultural celebrations, learning how people affect the earth over time as they immigrate, redefine political borders, start new industries, and the use of earth's natural resources. 

This curriculum embraces Dr. Montessori's understanding that elementary-age children have an increased interest in classification by focusing on activities that give students opportunities to explore animal classification. Beginning with a holistic overview of the animal kingdom, the curriculum then progresses through more specific animal classifications, presenting the wonders of the animal world in an engaging and thought-provoking manner. The students are also encouraged to consider the connection between humans and animals and interdependence of life.

The botany curriculum nurtures the students' fascination with nature through the exploration of plants and their functions. Through experimentation and activities, students learn that plants are a key component to sustaining life on earth and further their understanding of the important connection plants have to humans and animals. The final section of this curriculum presents microscopic examination, introducing students to the wonders of organisms that can only be studied with the aid of a microscope. 

Supernovasm stars, asteroids, meteors, satellites, and galaxies! Working with curriculum, students discover the wonder and power of a tiny atom and all its potential. This comprehensive curriculum provides a range of activities to explore the mysteries of the universe, discover many answers to why and how things exit and behave, and seek further answers to questions that inevitably arise. 

There is no doubt that, a healthy mind, body, and spirit are essential elements for success on the universal path of progress and development. The Health Sciences activities encompass a holistic approach to health, presenting students with the information they need to understand the value of taking care of themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. 

The Art and Music section of this course serves as a valuable resource for Montessori educator to build imaginative, artistic projects into their curriculum and to inspire children to explore their own creativity as a means of expression. Our world needs to continue to encourage creative problem-solvers and craftpeople who strive for a harmonious balance between progress and beauty. 

Science is a subject that allows not only the student to discover and spark natural curiosity in themselves but for the students to develop a passion and hunger to learn as much as they can because they genuinely want to. This result will not occur for all subjects, but science is where that curiosity aspect of education is often ignited and lit through other subjects such as history, language, etc.
