In a Montessori environment, cultural studies includes many different areas of learning such as: Geography, History, Social Studies, and Foreign Language. Geography focuses on the location of places around the world. Children explore the living continents of his/her environment with the help of representative materials. Through Montessori tailored maps and puzzles, students learn about the different continents, as well as the respective countries and states. They also learn about the customs, climate, and languages of the people around the world. By making clay model replicas, children learn about common land and water formations such as islands, peninsulas, etc.
Foreign Language: We incorporate Spanish daily into our curriculum in order to familiarize our students with basic commands, greetings, vocabulary, colors, numbers, etc. Through constant exposure, students will naturally develop an understanding of Spanish.
