In this rich learning environment, Montessori teachers prepare activities and guide children through their experiences in all areas of the curriculum.

LOWER SCHOOL(PREK-K)
Our children’s house schedule offers long-blocks of concentrated academic time for children to work at their own pace through the Montessori curriculum. Teachers carefully design a comfortable and calm classroom with the structure, order, and freedom that allows children to move, touch, create, discover, and question. Individualized instruction is emphasized at this developmental age, group collaboration and cooperative learning are encouraged, and children often engage in spontaneous, small-group work. The Montessori classroom changes daily as the teachers observe the needs of the children and respond with challenging lessons.

Upper Elementary (Grades 4-6)
Older children come to Upper Elementary with a mastery of basic skills for learning and living. They are prepared to put their combined academics and independence into practice and benefit from a blend of purposeful academic lessons and project-based learning. During these three years of development, they build an internalized understanding of complex concepts through engaging classroom lessons, real-life application, and problem-solving skills. A Harborlight education challenges the pre- adolescent child to grow their knowledge and knowhow across every academic discipline.
