Primary

Imagine a room filled with children each engaged in active learning, independently or in collaboration with others. A small group is composing music with tone bells, one is preparing apple slices for her friends, and yet another is absolutely consumed by geometric solids. The bright and friendly classroom is alive with focused activity while a highly skilled teacher wanders throughout, gently guiding students when needed. The mood is peaceful, not chaotic. Lively, not disruptive. Learning is self-directed, not forced.

Welcome to a Montessori Primary classroom at The Clover School! These bright and friendly, mixed age environments are lively and upbeat, buzzing with active and engaged 3 to 6 year old learners.

With a carefully sequenced and mastery-based curriculum, children are taken through a sensorial learning experience that helps set a solid foundational core in subjects like Reading, Writing, and Math. Their imaginations and innate curiosity are fuelled through deeply engaging curriculum in the areas of Science, History, Geography, Art, Music, and French. Lessons are given individually or in small groups, carefully targeted and tailored to the strengths and needs of each child, enabling them to reach their full potential while remaining deeply connected to the learning process.

Our teachers are trained and certified Montessori experts who provide thoughtful guidance to each individual student, foster self-directed learning, nurture social and emotional growth, and encourage children to take a heart centred approach to all they do. Children have uninterrupted time for deep concentration, collaborative and concrete peer-to-peer learning in an environment equipped with scientifically designed Montessori learning materials.
