Curriculum
The curriculum is divided into four main areas and two non-core areas. Practical life not only gives the children the opportunity to practice the skills of everyday life but also helps them to develop concentration and develop co-ordination of mind and body. The Sensorial materials capitalize on the fact that children use their senses to learn. Through these materials they are encouraged to order and classify the physical properties of the world they live in. The materials for Mathematics help the children to learn and really understand mathematical concepts because they are presented using concrete materials. The Language and Literacy is fundamental to all of the above teachings and for every child’s knowledge acquisition.
The World a cultural subjects which include Geography, History, Natural Sciences, Experimental Sciences and Extra Curricular Activities or Creative Subjects related to Art and Craft, Music and Physical Movement, Drama.
Practical Life
Young children have a strong urge to become independent. Practical Life activities help them to perfect the skills they need in daily life. Whilst learning essential life skills, the children are also developing hand-eye co-ordination and the capacity to focus their attention for the entirety of an activity. Successful completion of such tasks gives children a real sense of their own achievement, and this builds their self-confidence.
​Sensorial Exploration
​
Children are vividly aware of the world, constantly exploring it and taking in impressions through all their senses. The sensorial materials encourage children to order and classify the physical properties of the world they live in. These activities stimulate and develop the senses, refining childrens powers of observation, perception, exploration and communication.
Mathematics
​Montessori mathematics materials enable even a very young child to achieve a natural appreciation of mathematical concepts through his or her own efforts. This avoids the mental blocks which so often occur in children faced with purely abstract concepts. Specially designed equipment helps children to grasp concrete ideas along with sensory experience of numbers, quantities and mathematical operations. Gradually children can move confidently to complete abstract mathematical problems. Many Montessori educated children leave the MMS with a genuine love of numbers and mathematics.
Language and Literacy
​In the MMS children learn to express themselves. The freedom offered to the children creates many opportunities for them to communicate with their peers and the adults. We emphasise the development of vocabulary based on real experiences and the early preparation required for reading and writing. Advanced activities take the child well beyond the basic skills into reading and writing for interpretation, creativity and pleasure.

The World
​Our Montessori approach covers a wide range of subjects which reflect the broad interests of young children. A cultural subjects which include Geography, History, Natural Sciences and Experimental Sciences in the children's world is covered in order to train them to explore the World.
Extra- Curricular Activities
​The Montessori approach covers a wide range of subjects which reflect the broad interests of young children. The Montessori environment stimulates these interests and extends knowledge and understanding of art and crafts, geography, music,speech and science and the natural world.
