Westside Montessori School in Toronto now offers an elementary program for children in Grades 1 to 6. Accredited by the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA), the private elementary school program at Westside Montessori follows Dr. Maria Montessori's holistic curriculum that meets the developmental needs of this particular age group.
At the elementary age, Montessori education offers unparalleled development of strong executive functions, skills that are essential for success including: planning, organizing, working memory, metacognition and self regulation. What students learn at school is not very different from a traditional classroom, but how they learn and work is the key differentiator that makes the Montessori classroom the ideal setting for elementary aged kids.
At Westside Montessori School in Toronto, elementary students focus on these key subjects: history, geography, biology, language, music, math geometry, art, physical education and student led outings.
