KMA is devoted to developing the greatest minds beyond the preschool years. Montessori higher education activates your child's academic independence while also providing them social, emotional, and life skills needed beyond their early childhood education journey.
Lower Elementary Program Curriculum
Kindergarten - 1st Grade
Hybrid Montessori Curriculum
KMA’s unique Lower Elementary curriculum blends traditional Montessori pedagogy with common core aligned curriculum. Your child has the opportunity to obtain knowledge and skills at and above grade level while also receiving individualized support in a low-pressure setting. Our program is designed to help each child develop and learn at their own pace while still upholding academic excellence and rigor. Our mission is to equip our lower elementary students with the skills to not only navigate the transition to upper elementary school, but to instill them with confidence in their skills and a lifelong love for learning.
We know that when young children start public school they can get "lost" in the larger classrooms and their personalities, identity, and interest for learning can be affected especially with the added pressure of understanding and following rules in a new environment. KMA's Lower Elementary Program is the bridge between a Montessori education environment and a public school environment.
