Montessori Curriculum
Montessori Curriculum is especially designed to allow children to work with hands on concrete materials which happen to be the natural tendency in all children. The curriculum is integrated with both local and Montessori system. Which means the children still have the freedom of movement and exploring during their learning with Montessori Elementary Activities. By the end of the Montessori curriculum, children are prepared to go to all the systems available in the country.
