Primary/Elementary (6-12) „PRIMARIA“
Our Primary Programme is for children aged approximately 6 to 12 years old. It runs Monday to Thursday, 08:30 am till 01:30pm.
Elementary aged children typically can be characterised by their curious minds, their ability to abstract and imagine, their moral and social orientation and their energy for research and exploration.
Elementary children work in small, mixed-age groups on a variety of projects which spark the imagination, engage the intellect, and develop their reasoning abilities.
Elementary studies build knowledge through an in-depth study of the world and how it works.
Studies are integrated across disciplines that include geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, science, music, and other forms of artistic expression.
In our own kitchen area a Cooking Team prepares vegetarian meals for a common lunch on our long Wednesday’s afternoons.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Service to others is an important part of the Montessori philosophy. Montessori students are encouraged to care for their community. They help keep the classroom tidy and well organized, they make sure the outdoor spaces around the school are litter-free, they water plants and care for pets in the classroom.
EXPERTS KNOWLEDGE
Invited experts (like Mr. Ron, who is famous around Indonesia for his huge knowledge about snakes) enrich our studies.
FIELD TRIPS
Exploration of each area is augmented by the children, who organise visits beyond the confines of the classroom to gain real-life knowledge from community resources, such as the library, planetarium, botanical garden, science centre, factory, hospital, etc. This approach fosters a feeling of connectedness to humanity and encourages children’s natural desire to make a contribution to the world.
