Senior Casa Program

Children are generally accepted into the program between the ages of 4 and 6 years and benefit from the experience of remaining in the same classroom through a three-year cycle. 

The Casa curriculum in a Montessori classroom is divided into five areas:
Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, and Culture. Casa students access each area of study during Montessori work periods. This consistency allows the Directress to design the curriculum around the child’s individual needs and stages of development.
 

Our Casa Full Day Program begins at 8:15 am and finishes at 4 pm, with student drop-off beginning at 8:15 am.  Children enrolled in this program are exposed to extensive enrichment in both academics and the arts.  These art programs, like the core activities, are not considered recreational activities but rather intensives. Full performance opportunities are included in this program.  Lunch and morning and afternoon snacks are provided.
