First steps: Montessori Pre-School through Kindergarten
The Summit’s Montessori program provides a positive, stimulating introduction to classroom education for students at age two, in the half-day Toddler Program and students from age three to five, who are offered both full- and half-day sessions. Children learn the Montessori philosophy of order, independence, concentration, and coordination, gradually moving from the concrete to the abstract. Emphasis is placed on developing nascent skills in areas such as language, math, computers, science, geography, and music. Students also participate in physical education, sensorial development, and spiritual growth. The Montessori program at The Summit gives each child a framework that helps ensure continued academic success in grades one through four and beyond.
