Elementary Program

The goal of the elementary Montessori program is to prepare 6 to 12-year old children to enter adolescence as highly functioning and caring citizens of the world. At New World, we provide opportunities for every child to achieve academic excellence, but the acquisition of knowledge and skills is not our only goal. We also seek to awaken imagination, encourage independence, and help children to observe, question and explore ideas. We demonstrate and value kindness, self-discipline, compassion, and acceptance.

In the elementary classroom, children are able to make choices and explore their interests without fear of making mistakes. They prepare for the real world by working together cooperatively in an atmosphere of respect. Instead of competing with each other or focusing on grades, they grow into a community where they practice important social skills every day.
