Toddler Programmes
Half Day Programme - 18 Months to 36 months of age

The Half Day Toddler Programme offers our younger students an opportunity to explore the Montessori preliminary activities in the practical life, sensorial, language and culture areas of the classroom. Accompanied by gross motor activities, this programme is designed to meet the specific needs of an active toddler. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Full Day Programme - 24 Months to 4 years

During the transition time between Toddler and Casa, our younger students are placed in either a morning toddler or casa class depending on the student's level of readiness and toilet training. At the end of the morning programme, children move to the toddler environment where they have an assisted lunch period, rest time, and outdoor play activities. Under the direction of a specially trained Montessori toddler teacher, the full day students have the opportunity to continue their exploration in the specially designed toddler classroom for the balance of the afternoon. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Casa Half Day Programme - 3 to 5 years of age

A strong academic foundation is set during this time when students are given an opportunity to experience and manipulate a broad array of specially designed, concrete learning materials under the direction of the Montessori trained teacher. Students stay in the same classroom for a 3 year cycle. The half day programme is complemented with additional studies in French and Music. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Casa Full Day Programme - 4 and 5 years of age

The full day Casa Programme provides an opportunity for children to further focus on more complex areas of the Casa classroom. Children remain in the same classroom to complete the second and third year of the three year Casa programme. Students are supervised for lunch and recess after which they participate in an afternoon programme specifically designed for the needs of this age group. Physical Education, music and French are offered to all full day students. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Elementary Programme Grades 1 to 6 - 6 to 12 years of age

The elementary programmes consist of two 3 year cycles: 6 to 9 years of age and 9 to 12 years of age. In a Montessori elementary classroom the children do not just learn... they develop the skills of how to learn. Children entering the elementary programme from the casa programme have already acquired the basics in reading, writing, math, geometry, and culture. They are now ready to build upon these skills and apply them to researching their many interests. These core areas of study are complimented with studies in French, art, drama, music, physical education and a variety of carefully planned outings into the community. After school sports clubs are available to meet the growing social needs of the older children. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Junior High Programme Grades 7 and 8 - 12 to 14 years of age

The Junior High further develops the skills of the emerging adolescent. Complex studies in Literature, Mathematics, Science, Dramatic Arts, French, Music, and Research challenge students who are preparing for secondary education. Students also form committees to assist with school leadership and mentoring. The course of studies is complemented by out-of-school activities, field trips, "erdkinder" studies", and community service work. Class runs 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
