Elementary
Montessori Elementary Program is designed to be a continuum of the work from the Children’s House. The child is now developing the ability to think abstractly and to use his imagination.
For this age child, their work is research. Dramatic stories and presentations stimulate this child’s natural curiosity of the world beyond the classroom.
Their Studies
Materials and follow-up activities help the children explore topics in detail. These lead to independent studies in history, geography, biology and physical science. Their study begins with the vastness of the universe down to minute particles of the atom. Art, music and drama are integrated into the life of the class along with the physical activity.
Children Making Connections
The children’s research projects are shared with their peers in written, oral and multimedia presentations. There is a variety of class trips or individual “going-outs” to help the children make connections from the curriculum to the community in which they live to the world beyond.
Formal Testing
In the Montessori Elementary Program formal testing occurs once a year. Children take the Iowa test which is a standardized test normed across the US. Results are used as objective indicators of what is observed by the teacher in the students daily work.
Self-Confidence
The goal of the Montessori Elementary Program is to help the child develop the self-confidence and skills they need to take responsibility of their own learning.
Parent Testimonial
"Our two children attended Montessori at Roseborough for many years, one of them from the 1st grade through the 8th grade. They easily transitioned from the Montessori school into the public school system. They are both in the honors program at the public high school and are doing very well. One of the biggest benefits our kids received from their years at the Montessori school was the warm sense of community, a 'home away from home' atmosphere where emphasis is placed on kindness and acceptance of others. Another benefit is the personal interest the Director of Montessori at Roseborough takes in each child. If any problems arise, she is always willing and able to help work them out. We are grateful to have this school in Mount Dora."
