Trinity Montessori School - Elementary
Trinity Montessori
School moved the Elementary program
into our second building at 9221 Woodbine Ave.,
adjacent to our main campus, in 2007. This lovely
heritage-style building has been updated to ensure our
students have a delightful and inspiring class
space.
Our elementary teaching staff guides their
blossoming minds, using their expertise as either
Montessori-trained teachers or as Ontario certified
teachers.
Most of our elementary students have been at Trinity
Montessori School since their days in the
Casa
program. However, we do accept student without
a Montessori background and can discuss arrangements
with parents.
Elementary
Curriculum (Grades 1 to 6)
Language
The elementary
student broadens his or her skills in the language arts in a
number of varied ways. Exercises in grammar, spelling,
word study, handwriting, and creative writing thoroughly prepare
the student for reading and self-expression at a higher level,
and further learning in every other subject.
Mathematics
The elementary
student build upon the foundation in numerics that was laid at
the Casa level. Continuing to use Montessori materials,
more complex mathematical ideas are grasped, practiced and
mastered. Ultimately, the student gains a solid
understanding of an abstract concept.
French
The elementary
student continues to develop fluency in Canada's other official
language. Confidence from their enhanced communication
skills affect other areas of study positively.
Cultural Subjects
The elementary
student continues to add to the knowledge based that they had
built in the Casa program
-
Science - The
students explore physics, botany, and zoology by experiment,
plant dissection and animal kingdom studies, respectively.
They gain a healthy respect for the part that humans plan in
the interconnected and diverse living world.
-
Geography - As
is the Montessori way, we begin broadly, with a study of the
universe, solar system, and the different aspect of the
planet Earth.
-
History - We
begin with the broadest view, and study the four major
Montessori timelines: Life, Humankind I, Humankind II,
and The Progress of Civilizations.
