Our Lady of Grace’s elementary program is a planned, purposeful blend of Montessori disciplines and traditional curriculum that build upon the readiness of the primary student to accept broader academic challenges. Like our early childhood classrooms, the primary environment provides an atmosphere that encourages intrinsic motivation, spontaneous activity, and self-education. The classrooms have a mixed-age group setting, with 6-9 year olds in the same environment. The mixed-age classroom promotes cooperative learning through peer teaching and social interaction.

• Language Arts
