Children at Lincolnshire Montessori learn key life skills: independence, accomplishment, a sense of challenge and achievement, and the importance of teamwork. Building on the Montessori lower primary, the 9-12 curriculum fully meets the requirements of the National Curriculum and goes well beyond this in many subjects.

Lincolnshire Montessori has small class sizes, high teacher to pupil ratio and our experiential learning is highly personalised. Our class teachers are Montessori Early Childhood and Primary trained.

Our older children, who have benefited from their early and lower primary years in a Montessori setting are, by this age, well equipped to be competent and independent learners. Much of their research is self driven. Literacy and Numeracy form the basis of the three hour morning work cycle:

Curriculum

Language Studies include:

Grammar and Parts of speech

Language Skills

Oral Work

Writing skills

Sentence analysis

Mathematical Studies include:

Long Multiplication & Division

Fraction multiplication and division

Decimal fractions

Square numbers

Other subjects covered in the Montessori Primary Classes are History, Geography, the Sciences, Art, Cooking, Computer Skills, Design and Technology, religions and festivals around the world. Topics also play an important part of the curriculum at the Primary level. The National Curriculum subjects are covered within the school curriculum. Each class has at least two computers and is connected to the Internet. Our library, art room and school hall provide the space and resources to enhance the curriculum.

In addition, children have weekly athletics and swimming lessons off site.

Following the upper primary, children move on to local state or independent secondary school well equipped with confidence, self esteem and social skills. Our experience show that these children have the concentration, motivation and self belief to thrive in the next stage of their schooling.
