PRIMARY SCHOOL
Transition seamlessly into primary school.
What next?
​​
Children who graduate from Montessori schools at the age of 6 transition seamlessly into primary school no matter the curriculum of that school. The academic goals for the Montessori 6 year old are reading fluency, the ability to write down their own thoughts, and the ability to complete abstract addition and subtraction operations with 4-digit numbers.
Some children are able to complete multiplication and division of 4-digit numbers as well as write guided research projects for a subject that interests them. Socially, Montessori children tend to be the "mediators" on the play ground.
They are able to handle conflict, possess a self-assuredness and awareness not seen in others and are quite able to self-direct and work diligently on tasks.
