Montessori - Seeds of Knowledge

Help me to think for myself

Montessori pedagogy for the 6 - 12 years old

Over the course of this period, the child gradually detaches himself/herself from the material and uses his/her imagination to arrive at abstraction. This is an age when the physical conditions are strengthening: the body becomes more resistant, the permanent teeth appear, the limbs grow. Between the ages of 6 and 12, children keep asking countless questions. They have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. This is the most intense intellectual period of his life.

The work environment

5 Characteristics
Our programme addresses this natural curiosity of the child by offering opportunities for spontaneous reasoning. We actively consider each of the following characteristics to ensure individualised learning and accompaniment and to favor the full development of the child’s potential.

Physical

at this age, the physical condition of the child gets stronger: the body becomes more resistant, the adult teeth appear, the limbs grow harmoniously.

Morality

the child should understand the reasons for rules, feeding into his/her developing sense of justice. It is an age when loyalty, ideals and heroes are very important. It is also in this period when the child begins to construct a lifelong sense of responsibility for the self, others and his/her surroundings.

Intellectual

the Absorbent Mind becomes the Reasoning Mind. The child needs to understand the reasons and relationships between things. The child is interested in the cosmos (all things surrounding us), in a journey of learning guided by exploration and the child’s imagination.

Social

The group plays an important role, as the child tries to understand the functioning of society through experimentation: discovery of hierarchy, finding/creating one’s place, expressions of gratitude.

Emotional

Maria Montessori observed that emotions play an important role in the learning process. Children also learn through their emotions and it is important for us to consider and adapt to these emotions in our approach to guiding children through their academic journey. With a collaboration on the level of emotions, we observe peace of mind and serenity, which are essential for the learning process.
