This page explains what happens in the Elementary program at Grace Montessori School for children in 1st through 6th grades.

The Elementary room

In the Elementary program, students explore subjects that require abstract thinking, such as advanced problem solving and critical thinking. They learn to take initiative, set goals, and work independently, which helps build self-confidence. The classroom environment supports this by offering materials and activities that encourage curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Students are encouraged to ask questions and seek answers through exploration and discussion. This approach helps them develop a sense of responsibility and self-discipline. They also learn to collaborate with peers, which strengthens their social skills and ability to work as part of a team.

The program is designed to help children move from concrete learning to more abstract thinking. This transition is supported by a structured yet flexible curriculum that allows students to follow their interests and build on their strengths. Over time, they gain the skills and habits needed for lifelong learning.

What to expect

Elementary

During these years students engage in lessons that involve more abstract thought, advanced problem solving and critical thinking. They continue to gain knowledge and self-confidence through self-motivation and self-discipline, and develop habits that foster lifelong learning.

1st – 6th Grades

Children at the Elementary level are in their second plane of development. The environment prepared for these children reflects this stage of development in that it allows for opportunities for them to work in groups, explore the How and Why, use their imaginations to test new ideas or create big work and extend their work and ideas beyond the classroom.
