“The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them.” — Albert Einstein
MSLF Elementary students see problems all around them and find solutions. Imagine the level of commitment and thinking they will bring to the world-problems they will face as adults.
Over the past school year, MSLF’s Elementary students:
Elementary education is the great Montessori secret! Elementary children grow fast, focus on problem- solving, use compassion to face loss, want to work in groups and learn how to lead. These qualities point to the Elementary child’s strongest trait: A powerful and hungry mind.
Excellent Elementary education is vital, for a child’s brain will never again be as receptive and powerful as it is during the years from 6 to 12. Elementary age brains need to be stimulated and guided by inspiring and knowledgeable educators who feed learning via the vast Montessori Elementary curriculum of “cosmic education.” MSLF Elementary students connect to the world in complex and challenging ways. They grow up to join the ranks of the innovators and problem-solvers who make their childhood visions come true.
Join an Elementary class for an observation. You’ll see that these students have things to learn and places to go, and they’ll reach their goals by hand, on foot, by telephone and Skype, through planning, hard work and practice, by committee and meeting, by appointment, by car and public transit, and on the wings of their soaring imaginations! Travel with these adventurers as they investigate the myriad realities of the cosmos they call home.
Best Wishes, and see you down in Elementary!
