Elementary 6–12

Understanding the world. Thinking for themselves.

At this age, the child wants to understand everything. Why the Earth turns. How numbers work. Where civilizations come from. Montessori gives them the keys — and the freedom to think for themselves.

Montessori at Home

Not bringing school home.

Transforming a few everyday gestures.

A few simple adjustments — adapted space, slowed-down demonstration, time to repeat — are all it takes to help your child grow more independent at home.

Discover
  • Observe before helping
  • Allow time to try again
  • Make the space accessible

A world of discovery and collaboration

The elementary classroom is organized into curriculum areas with materials that progress from concrete to abstract. Children move freely, choosing work that interests them and collaborating with peers. The environment includes spaces for individual work, group projects, and creative expression.

The elementary educator: facilitator and guide

"Follow the child, but guide them."

The elementary educator presents big ideas and connects children to materials that spark their curiosity. She observes interests, suggests projects, and guides children toward deeper understanding while respecting their independence and creativity.

Questions parents ask.

What program is followed?

We follow the French National Education program while fully integrating Montessori pedagogy.

How is middle school entry prepared?

Children are progressively prepared for middle school through structured work, methodology and growing autonomy.

Do children have homework?

Work is essentially done at school during the long work cycles.

How is the child assessed?

Assessment is formative and continuous, with detailed progress reports and portfolio presentations.

How many children per class?

Each elementary class welcomes around 25 children aged 6 to 12, guided by one Montessori educator and one English-speaking assistant.

Our programs rest on strong values

The programme reflects a vision: every child deserves an environment that respects their pace, builds confidence and invites full engagement.

  • Individual pace No comparison, no pressure
  • Self-confidence Built day after day
