Why Choose TRMS’s Casa Montessori?
Our Casa Montessori program curriculum bridges the gap between concrete and abstract learning. It encompasses five key areas, including Practical Life, Sensorial, Language Arts, Mathematics, and Culture (which encompasses zoology, geography, botany, history, and science and technology).
These sound like big topics – and they are! – but we’ve created a curriculum that is optimal for children. Their introduction to these areas of learning provides them with a solid enriching and engaging foundation for their life long educational journey.
A few considerations:
- Teacher to student ratio of 1 to 8.
- Mandatory catered hot meal program included in the fees.
- Naps are optional for Preschool aged students.
- All students must be toilet trained and independent in toilet habits.
- Is only offered full time.
Program Features
Practical Life
With Practical Life exercises, we teach children how to care for themselves and their environment. They develop fine and gross motor skills through hands on learning.
We categorize these exercises in Preliminary Exercises, Care of the Environment, Care of Self, Grace and Courtesy, and Movement.
Sensorial Materials
Montessori Sensorial Materials encourage children to investigate visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, and tactile senses, and identification and discriminatory perceptions.
The materials we use encourage trial and error, encouraging children to be comfortable with making mistakes and understanding that it’s all part of the learning process.
Language Arts
Children have a boundless capacity to expand their communication through language. But educators know that their task is merely to facilitate this process.
With the aid of alphabetic materials, TRMS children learn to read and write as they learn and blend phonetic sounds together and develop proper letter formation.
Mathematics
Our Montessori mathematical materials provide TRMS children with a concrete sensorial experience of mathematics.
TRMS Casa Montessori children learn numeric sense and mathematical concepts through materials that are appropriate for their development.
Culture
This area of our curriculum focuses on learning the basic scientific concepts of botany, zoology, geography, history, science, and technology.
All of these contribute to TRMS children gaining a broader knowledge and awareness of the global environment.
Physical Education
Physical development in an integral part of growing. Raising active children leads to healthy long-term lifestyles. We offer a comprehensive Phys. Ed. Program in multi-sports, martial arts and Zumba.
Students participate in 3 seasonal field trips per school year and in monthly themed special events. These experiences enrich their learning and allow the exploration of different environments.
Music
The Music Program encompasses the “Discovery of Music.” The repertoire is fun and motivating for students to encourage participation and build confidence in performing in front of a group.
The student’s accomplishments are displayed for the parents at the annual Christmas and Year End Concerts.
French
Learning supplementary languages not only stimulates and opens the child’s mind culturally and academically, but it also trains and develops the ear. TRMS provides an enriched Core French program in preparation for French Immersion in grade 2.
The French program includes oral lessons of basic vocabulary and commands which are introduced through monthly themes and reinforced with songs, stories, and rhymes.
Character Education
Our Character Education program nurtures essential skills and attributes by modelling to children how to become responsible, caring members of our society. At TRMS, our program encourages behaviour that is inclusive, respectful, and empathetic towards others. We apply this philosophy every day at our school and encourage TRMS students to become a community of friends through learning.
