“The goal of early education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.”
— Maria Montessori

Program Opportunities at KMS

The Montessori Curriculum not only inculcates students with strong academic skills, but also students who work collaboratively, share their passions, communicate clearly, and care deeply about the world we all share. True to Montessori, our multi-age classrooms move in three-year cycles and are key to student success. In this environment, children in their first year learn from older friends and by the third year become role models themselves. The three-year cycle promotes a strong foundation for learning and applies to the Planes of Development that growing children experience. At KMS we offer programs for children ages 3-12 in three different core programs – Primary (3 – 6 yrs), Lower Elementary (6 – 9 yrs) and Upper Elementary (9 – 12 yrs).

“What will my child learn?”

Your child will learn concentration, coordination, and independence through purposeful activities appropriate for their level of development. In Primary, they will engage in practical life skills and learn to read at their own pace. They will use concrete math materials to help them grasp advanced concepts earlier than with other educational approaches. In Elementary Programs they will build upon this foundation and learn to conduct and present independent research based on their own unique interests. Across all program levels, your child will practice grace and courtesy, engage in peace education, develop a global perspective, and explore the wonders of nature. With spaces designed to inspire curiosity and exploration, your child will grow through self-directed learning.
