Primary Classroom

Elan Vital Montessori School’s Primary Program offers a unique, mixed age classroom environment for children 3 to 6 years old. EVM provides the children with freedom to explore and learn from a carefully prepared environment. The classroom is designed to expose students to various subjects that meet the child’s innate natural desire to learn. Students engage in individual learning experiences, one on one interactions with teachers and peers and use manipulative materials to aid in their learning. Mixed age groups allow younger children to learn by observing and interacting with the older children and learn at a faster pace. Older children gain more confidence by helping and re-teaching what they have learned. Students in a mixed age group environment, work by helping one another while gaining self- confidence and self-discipline. In the process, students discover independence, confidence, and innovation.
