Our Curriculum

The school offers the full range of Montessori experiences: Everyday Living, art, Language: English and Japanese, Math, Cultural Studies, Science and Geography, as well as functional skills that incorporate hands—on activities with concrete learning, using real objects. The environment introduces the child to a conceptual foundation of all pre—academic areas. The day is filled with exploratory opportunities suited to the interest and growing skills of the child. To enhance and develop the interest and learning process of the child we take them on a number of fieldtrips.
