Private Lower Elementary
At this age, the appetite of children to understand the
universe and their place in it directs the elementary work
toward all aspects of culture. Elementary studies include
geography, biology, history, language, mathematics, science,
music, and art. Exploration of each area is encouraged
through trips outside the classroom to community resources,
such as a library, planetarium, botanical garden, science
center, factory or hospital. This inclusive approach to
education fosters a feeling of connectedness to all humanity
and encourages their natural desire to make contributions to
the world.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT what makes us different
Why mixed age classrooms?
Students progress at different speeds, and studies show
that kids improve more quickly with an older child as a
mentor. Positive peer pressure is real! Older kids learn
more in-depth skills through teaching and younger kids
aspire to learn more from older kids. It’s a win-win!
Why Montessori-trained certified

methods?
Dr. Maria Montessori spent years researching the
psychology and education behind what makes kids
discover the joy of learning. Her methods have been in use
since 1910 and consistently show proven success.

combination of proven learning methods.
Does MRA have individual
education plans?
Forget about lesson plans that expect every child to fit into
a mold. At MRA, children work independently at their own
pace with one-on-one guidance from their teacher. Each
student works with an individualized education plan that is
specifically designed to ensure educational growth and
progress.
How important is Diversity and
Inclusion to you?
We celebrate diversity and multiculturalism through our
special activities, year-round. Inclusion and diversity means
that every child should have equal learning experiences
with positive outcomes despite any race, nationality, skin
colour, socioeconomic or religious base, in early childhood
