This is the right place to start if you’re new to the Montessori method. We encourage all perspective families to attend a tour or open house, since this is an excellent way to see a Montessori classroom at work. Below are just a few Montessori resources that we hope you’ll find useful.
Crescent Resources
Our program descriptions give you a sense of the curriculum at each level. The grade level equivalents to our Crescent classrooms are below.
Preschool = Primary Program
Kindergarten through 2nd grade = Junior Elementary
3rd grade through 5th grade = Senior Elementary
6th grade through 8th grade = Middle School
Our “Typical Day” page reviews a sample typical day for a child in the Primary classroom through text and images.
Finally, our faculty emeritus, Pam Higi, used her forty years of Montessori education experience to write an overview of the Prepared Environment in every Montessori classroom.
