Upper Elementary

upperBy the time the students arrive in Upper Elementary, they are prepared to research, write, and present orally. Reading is used as a tool, and writing is used the means of communicating individual thought and creativity. Math and science is taken to a more advanced level. (The dissection of a frog is a favorite day in this class!) History is studied and applied to today’s current events.

Upper Elementary Students travel to The Outdoor School at Camp Champions each year to further develop independence, peer cohesion, and nature/science skills. Team building activities strengthen the individual and group. Students spend two nights and upperthree days at this wonderful camp outside of Marble Falls.

Fourth graders study Texas government and travel to Austin to view firsthand the way our government and government officials conduct the business of Texas. All students learn debate strategies and techniques for stating opinions, asserting views, and making persuasive arguments.

Fifth and sixth graders research issues of an assigned country as they prepare to be delegates at the Montessori Model United Nations in New York City during the spring. This four day conference is great preparation for life in the 21st century when such issues as “water availability and sustainability” and “nuclear proliferation and the country’s position” must be discussed and solved.

Students will continue to advance their reading, math, science, history, language, writing, geography, music, and art skills.
