“Now he is interested mainly in the how and why… the problem of cause and effect.”

“The elementary child has reached a new level of development. Before he was interested in things: working with his hands, learning their names.” — Maria Montessori

UPPER ELEMENTARY · AGES 9–12

Why is the universe as it is?

At this age, children want to know why the universe is as it is and how it came to be that way—and they are ready to dig into a deeper layer of understanding.

In our 9–12 classes, learners independently design and follow a work plan each day. They manage their time and document their own progress with their teacher’s guidance.
