The Montessori Primary Classroom is a “living room” for children. Children choose their work from among the self-correcting materials displayed on open shelves. They work in specific work areas such as practical life, math, language, sensorial, and cultural studies . Over some time, the children develop into a “normalized community,” working with high concentration and few interruptions.

In a multi-age classroom children are given an environment where they are able to learn at their own pace, experience leadership, and build strong relationships with their teachers and peers as they remain the same classroom during the two-three year period.
