The scope of the Montessori cultural curriculum includes a introduction to the sciences (botany, zoology, chemistry, physics, geology and astronomy). The Montessori approach to science cultivates children's fascination with the universe and helps them develop a lifelong interest in observing nature and discovering more about the world in which we live.
History and geography are introduced and even the youngest students work with specially designed maps, beginning to learn the names of the world's continents and countries. Children learn about the shapes and names of landforms.
Languages are presented through songs, stories, games and activities that introduce students to other cultures. Children learn to treasure the richness of their own cultural heritage and those of their friends.
Arts, music and movement education are important parts of the curriculum. They offer children ways to express themselves, their feelings, experiences and ideas.
