Lower Elementary students were working hard last week. In Montessori classrooms, math comes to life through hands-on exploration.

In the Nido community, even the youngest children are given the opportunity to practice independence through the use of real forks, spoons, and dishes.

In Upper Elementary, students take on the responsibility of running the MAC Coffee Cart, a student-led business that serves as both a learning experience and a fundraising effort, with proceeds going toward the students’ capstone 6th-grade trip.

In our Primary classrooms, students work with the colorful bead stair to build a strong foundation in math. Each bead bar represents a number from one to nine, and children arrange them in order to form a “staircase.”

In the Toddler community, friends prepare their lunch vegetables. Food prep is more than just a fun activity; it’s a key part of Montessori Practical Life work.

Our Upper Elementary students had an incredible adventure at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park. From navigating the outdoor low ropes course and playing outdoor games to practicing survival skills, the students embraced every challenge with enthusiasm.

In a Primary classroom, friends worked with the sandpaper letters to build an essential bridge between sound and symbol.

In Montessori Elementary education, the First Great Lesson, The Coming of the Universe and the Earth, introduces children to the grand story of how our world began.

Our Lower Elementary students recently returned from an unforgettable 2 days and nights at the Cal-Wood Education Center in Jamestown, where learning came to life in the great outdoors.
