1st-2nd Grades Class Schedule

Students will attend classes from 9:00-3:00pm  on Thursdays. 

1st and 2nd Grade Program Description

The focus of the 1st and 2nd grade Classical Program will be one of establishing solid basics in the areas of Language and Math through a hands-on, concrete approach.  By laying a strong foundation in Grammar and Syntax and Mathematical Base Ten patterns, the children will enter the next years with a concrete working knowledge of language and mathematics that will allow them to move on to higher-level conceptual work.  Taught by an AMI Montessori Elementary Certified teacher, AMI Montessori materials will be used to master these skills. Parents will be expected to cover the areas of Phonics/Reading and Spelling at home, while Literature, Grammar, Math and Science/Geography will be covered in the Classical School.  Music, Art and Latin will also be offered as part of the program. 

Parents will be guided to teach reading at home.
