Our program nurtures growth through practical life skills, sensory refinement, language, and mathematics. Using hands-on learning, we introduce children to a rich variety of subjects such as physical science, geography, and history. This unique approach fosters curiosity and builds a lifelong love of learning.
Our individualized curriculum features:
-
Sensorial materials that help children order, classify, and describe their sensory experiences.
-
Manipulative materials that make mathematics tangible, helping children understand numbers and symbols.
-
Self-expression through music and art, encouraging creativity and supporting communication skills.
-
Practical life activities that develop coordination, concentration, and purposeful work habits.
Lower Elementary
1st - 3rd grade
Lupine Montessori School is excited to offer the only Elementary Montessori program in Northern NH (north of the notch). Like our Primary Program, our Elementary program is multi-aged and allows students to work independently and in small groups at their own pace.
Cosmic education was the term used by Dr. Montessori to describe the elementary curriculum. The curriculum aids the general development of the child’s understanding of his/her place in and impact on their community and the world at large. The curriculum is rich and includes: Math, language, geography, history, science and literature, music, art and foreign language. The students have time to pursue individual interests as well as attend individual and group lessons to meet learning goals/targets.
Our Elementary program will serve children ages 1st-3rd grade. We plan on expanding one grade level each year.
