Needham Montessori
An immersive experience for young students, we offer a comprehensive curriculum that embodies self-direction and an enthusiastic approach to learning. Our Lower Elementary engage in multi-age classrooms that combine students in grades 1-3, peer to peer collaboration, hands-on learning, and making a connection with their surroundings. Students work together to, breakdown complex concepts, and gain a thorough understanding of material in core subjects and individual curricula at their own pace.
Our Upper Elementary Program (grades 4-6) is a multi-age environment
designed to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of students 9-12 years of age, with enriching curriculum designed to build upon concepts and skills learned in the early elementary grades.
The curriculum of the Upper Program is designed to provide each child the opportunity to explore their independence and research topics they are most interested in. Students are consistently given opportunities to plan projects that exhibit their unique interests and the level of understanding of these topics, as well as give them a chance to share these efforts with their peers.
