Projects include creating unique images, formatting newsletters, creative writing, designing stickers or labels, and making images that can be used in art class. 

3D Printing

Our fleet of 3D printers is available for students to learn what it takes to make a successful 3D design and watch it come to life! Students will learn how to use beginner level CAD software and have fun working alongside friends to create unique prints.

Computer Science

Montessori Computers is a wonderful addition to your math curriculum! Students will work with hands on materials to learn Binary, Hexadecimal, and Boolean Logic. This introduction to base systems and the history of how computers came to be is a truly unique way to learn about the origins of computer science in a child friendly format.

A Variety of Experiences Ahead

Due to the nature of our project based format, not every experience is available all the time. Projects are planned based on current family interests and needs, but here are a few focus areas that we always try to support.
Farm Based Experiences
Our small learning farm provides a myriad of experiences for children to learn and build. Courses include Organic Gardening, Animal Husbandry, Farm Building, and more.
Handcrafts and Building
It is important for children to see the progression of ideas to realities. Our goal with our skills building courses is to teach children to create value starting from raw materials. Children will participate in planning, finding the correct resources, and executing the plan. Finally, they will experience the satisfaction of having a tangible material that they created.
