Scope and Sequence
In the Montessori elementary program children learn from all areas of a classical curriculum in a mixed age classroom. The entire six year program is taught by a highly trained teacher who has specialized training in all subject areas.
In broad strokes, this is the Montessori scope and sequence used at Rhyme and Reason Academy. A student who attends all six years of the elementary program can be expected to have mastered all the basic skills that would be taught in conventional programs, and have been introduced an even greater breadth of material than at a conventional school.
Where applicable, I have included a link to the materials I use in my classroom, my intention is to help other Montessori guides in preparing their environments. Some links are to other shops, both affiliate and not affiliate, and some are available from Rhyme and Reason Academy. I do receive a small percentage from affiliate purchases without any increase to your price.
