"Our concern for the child should not be limited to our desire to teach him or her concepts, but rather to ensure that this inner light notably called intelligence is enlivened forever."

Our Curriculum
CASA Class (3 to 6 years old)
Practical Life activities are a fundamental part of the Montessori method, designed to help children develop essential life skills and foster independence such as Taking Care of Oneself, Taking Care of the Environment, Grace and Courtesy and Movement Control.
These practical life activities serve as a foundation for a child's holistic development. Through hands-on experiences, children learn to care for themselves, their environment, and interact harmoniously with others, setting the stage for future learning and independence.
Practical Life
Language is a fundamental tool for communication and the development of essential skills in students. Focusing on oral language, listening, evaluation, feedback skills, grammar and early literacy, as well as incorporating activities such as tracing, writing and reading while integrating technology, can contribute significantly to their overall language proficiency.
Full immersion in the English and French languages, students will begin to have basic conversations in the French language after the first three months of school. Mandarin will be introduced in the 2026 school year.
Language
A well-balanced and comprehensive educational approach will cover a variety of topics related to the environment and beyond. Integrating subjects such as geography, botany, zoology, science, history, music and art can enable students to gain a holistic understanding of the world around them. Additionally, this approach fosters interdisciplinary learning, enabling students to see the interconnectedness of different fields of knowledge.
Culture
Students will explore the perception of differences such as colors, shapes, textures, weights and dimensions, helping them to develop their five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. The sensory can foster fields such as psychology, design, education and technology, where attention is focused on the sensory aspects of perception and experience.
Sensorial
A complete introduction to mathematics will be prepared, starting with a hands-on approach and progressing to more abstract concepts: from introduction to numbers, counting quantities, decimal system to basic operations (addition, multiplication, subtraction, division). As students become comfortable with these foundational concepts, they are better equipped to tackle more advanced topics in mathematics in the future.

Extra Curriculum
Offering students the chance to develop and enhance their physical strength, mental toughness, and self-discipline is a commendable approach to holistic education. Physical health, mental well-being, teamwork, resilience, self-discipline, enhanced concentration and stress management are key elements to students' overall growth and balance.

Cooking can indeed be a multi-faceted learning experience, integrating basic mathematical concepts (through recipes) and language skills. Preparing croissants, muffins, pancakes, pizzas, cakes, pies, pumpkin seeds or fruit kebab is a fantastic and engaging way to integrate learning into a fun activity. What's more, everyone can enjoy a delicious homemade pizza at the end!
Cooking
Integrating a vegetable garden offers a “Nature” dimension, providing students with practical skills and a deeper connection to the natural world. It also enhances students' understanding of the plant life cycles they are growing as well as of where their food comes from. Students are so proud to harvest the vegetables they grew and so curious to taste them!
Gardening
Absolutely! Yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being, and its benefits extend beyond just relaxation. Physical flexibility, stress reduction, confidence building, emotional regulation and social connection are key advantages. Incorporating yoga into students' routines not only promotes relaxation but also contributes to their overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being, creating a foundation for a healthier and more successful academic journey.

Floating eggs, mixing colors, volcano erupting, making snow are a few examples of the science experiments that are powerful tools for nurturing curiosity, fostering a love for learning, promoting critical thinking and developing a deeper understanding of the world around us and extend beyond the classroom.
