Course Description
Perhaps the most laudable goal of the Montessori method is the idea that, through the use of a properly prepared environment, independence building, and an education which focuses on the cosmos and one’s place in it, children can grow up to build a more peaceful world. This alone is enough to make conscientious parents like you want to get started with Montessori at home!
Geography is in the spotlight when it comes to fulfilling this goal. The intersection of physical geography and cultural geography reveals to the child the interdependent nature of all members of the human race, and our responsibility both to each other and to our planet. What’s more – this approach to the subject matter seamlessly sets your family up for an interdisciplinary approach to learning in general.
With our Montessori primary geography curriculum, students learn geography and mapping skills with fun, hands-on activities that spark interest in things such as national landmarks, continents, cultural studies, and natural science.
How Montessori Compares To Public School Standards
Montessori materials teach through hands-on methods to help children learn at their own pace.
While public schools push rigid concepts and steps every child must follow in the exact order and at the same pace the schools outline, Montessori subjects – is about self-directed, self-paced and multi-sensory learning.
It fosters a love of learning and marks advancement based on the development of a child as a whole.
Montessori students universally perform above grade level in Mathematics. Perhaps this is because children learn using attractive materials that invite repetition and investigation.
