Elementary Program

The Elementary Program at Pinewoods currently serves children in multi-age groupings that provide the 6 - 12 Montessori curriculum.

The elementary academic program purposefully integrates science, geography, geometry, history, cultural studies, and the arts while expanding skills in language arts, literacy, writing, and math. This integrated curriculum presents information and concepts in a way that is meaningful and connected for the students. Like the primary program, each student is given individualized and/or small group instruction that addresses her specific needs, style, and pace of learning. At any time of the day, children can be observed creating time lines, recording science experiments, researching topics of personal interest, writing an essay or creative story, manipulating grammar materials, or solving mathematical problems.
