Our Curriculum

The core educational program includes all academic subjects, plus a Montessori-based religious formation program.

Independence, self-discipline, and hands-on learning are well-known hallmarks of Montessori students. The Montessori graduate leaves school with excellent academic skills, a comprehensive world-view, and the abilities to work through in-depth research and engage in high-level critical thinking. 

The Montessori classroom offers meticulously-designed and aesthetically-pleasing hands-on learning materials that encourage the child to explore, discover, and create. The Montessori teacher, trained to observe and guide each individual child, helps the child excel to his or her full potential. The Montessori curriculum, broad in scope and rich in content, inspires the child to develop a sense of gratitude for what has come before him, and a sense of responsibility to make his own contribution to the community.
