Overview

Around the age of 6 or 7, a new developmental phase begins and lasts through the age of 12. Fiore's Elementary Program is designed to focus on this age range through a carefully crafted Montessori curriculum backed by modern science. Children thrive in this setting and cannot wait to come to school each day. As students develop a reasoning mind, they become intellectually independent and ambitious.

Our Elementary students:

• Discover concepts by exploration and doing – The curriculum is grounded in experiential learning rather than rote memorisation. Concrete materials lead children to uncover concepts by first principles, helping them internalise knowledge.
• Receive individualised lesson plans – Teachers assess each child's progress and create weekly lessons tailored to their needs, ensuring systematic mastery of foundational concepts.
• Work collaboratively in mixed‑age groups – Students learn and teach each other, cultivating leadership, teamwork, and social skills while investigating new ideas.
• Develop ambition and curiosity – Free from rigid tests and compulsory homework, children are inspired to take responsibility for their learning, pursue their interests, and challenge themselves.

Daily life includes outdoor exploration on nine acres of natural grounds, unstructured physical play, and structured PhysEd sessions that nurture body awareness and coordination. After‑School Interest Groups extend learning with offerings such as chess led by a Grand Master, drama workshops with local actors, Suzuki piano lessons, yoga, and Latin dance. Research projects, community "going‑outs," and student‑led initiatives like bake sales foster real‑world skills in responsibility, collaboration, and entrepreneurship.

The typical School Day Schedule runs from 8:00 am – 3:20 pm, with an After‑School Program available 3:20 pm – 5:30 pm. Summer programs are also offered for four weeks each year.
