​
-
Mathematics & Language Arts (writing, reading comprehension, grammar, and composition)
-
Science & Cultural Studies (botany, zoology, biology, geography, history)
-
Executive functioning (organization, goal setting, follow-through, and independence)

​
Parents and educators know that maturity doesn’t just “happen”—it develops. Lower Secondary is the training ground for that transformation to adulthood.
​
Montessori designed the adolescent years around a powerful idea: teens thrive when learning is connected to purpose, responsibility, and real life. Montessori often refers to this developmental approach as Erdkinder (“earth children/children of the land”)—an adolescent community where academics are integrated with purposeful work and meaningful contribution.
​
What the Montessori 12–14 experience emphasizes
Academics grounded in humanities + interdisciplinary studies
Students engage in a humanities-anchored curriculum, supported by integrated math, science, language, and social studies—so learning feels coherent and relevant.
​
Seminar approach
Rather than lecture-heavy instruction, Montessori adolescent programs often use discussion-rich seminars to strengthen reading, speaking, reasoning, and writing skills in small groups.
​
Managing responsibilities
Students begin to work more like adults: using planners, prioritizing work, attending scheduled lessons, collaborating with peers, and building independence through guided structure.
​
Purposeful work + contribution
Early adolescents build self-confidence through meaningful work that connects them to the wider world—projects, leadership roles, service, and community-based work that develops real skills and self-worth.
​
Life lessons and choices
Students practice conflict resolution, problem solving, community responsibility, healthy choices, and environmental awareness—because character development is part of adolescent success.
