Kindergarten Ready (4 Years - 6 Years) & Elementary: (6 Years - 7 Years)
|
Our Kindergarten Ready and Elementary program caters children from the age group 4 years – 6 years old and from 6 years - 7 years old respectively. Our
program focuses on critical thinking, problem
solving and cooperative learning skills through
individual and small group instruction. The
Montessori teacher presents materials to
stimulate imagination parallel to developing
their essential learning skills. This group of
children are closely monitored to assure
appropriate progress in all areas of study. Now
that the concrete skills are already acquired
and mastered, the child moves on to abstract
reasoning. The curriculum follows the essential
elements as instructed by the state in arts,
sciences, geography, history, math and language.
We focus on creative writing,
grammar, sentence analysis and spelling to
further develop their language skills. Children
are exposed scientific language in the areas of
zoology, botany and geography and we focus on
providing more accurate and organised
information to respect the child’s intelligence
and interests. As
children enter into a new period of life at this
stage, we have a well-planned environment and
extensive course of study to support their
flourishing potential. At
the end of the school year the children will be
tested, we will use the California Test of Basic
Skills or the Texas Assessment of Academic
Skills. If your child is going to transfer to a
traditional or another private school, it is the
responsibility of the parent to notify the
school at least a month before applying at the
school and taking the acceptance exam. Our test
procedures are different than traditional
examinations; therefore, it is best that
children be exposed to the traditional testing
methods in advance. Our
goal is to support the development of each child
in all areas – academically, socially,
physically, and emotionally. We provide
extracurricular activities like: Music, Yoga,
Choreography and Movement, Poetry, Computer Lab,
Library Skills and Spanish, which are part of
the tuition fee. Lesson on Tennis, Soccer,
Gymnastics, Karate, Computers, Ballet, and Chess
are optional and is offered at an additional
charge. |
