Children at this age develop and seek to understand their social selves, relationships with others and the environment. They are better able to reason, to ask—and search for answers to—the questions “how” and “why.” The Montessori curriculum and classroom materials give children the tools and methods to explore and discover the world. Children enjoy group work and they learn to structure their individual work schedules in conjunction with the teacher. The environment is designed to maximize independent learning and exploration. Areas of study include mathematics, geometry, language, history, geography, biology, botany and science.

Students in the 9–12 class participate in two one-week overnight experiences at Nature’s Classroom in Wisconsin.
