The Montessori core

The foundation of the Montessori classroom. Children work with hands-on materials at their own pace, moving from the concrete to the abstract.

Practical Life

Everyday tasks such as pouring, dressing, food preparation, and cleaning help children build independence, concentration, coordination, and a strong sense of responsibility. Children gain confidence in caring for themselves and their environment.

Sensorial

Sensorial materials refine sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. These hands-on experiences help children categorize, compare, and understand the world around them, laying the foundation for abstract thinking and future academic learning.

Language

Our language program supports spoken language, vocabulary, early literacy, and a love of communication through storytelling, conversation, phonemic awareness, and early reading and writing activities.

Math

Concrete, hands-on materials make abstract concepts tangible. Children explore number sense, quantity, sequencing, and basic operations at their own pace, building a strong and joyful foundation in math.

Cultural

Cultural studies introduce geography, science, history, art, and the natural world. Through exploration and discovery, children develop curiosity, global awareness, and respect for diverse cultures and environments.

Grace & Courtesy

Lessons in grace and courtesy guide children to interact respectfully and thoughtfully with others. Children practise manners, kindness, conflict resolution, and social awareness, skills for both school and life.

Enrichment

Language, movement, mindfulness, and character education round out each child’s experience at Granville House.

French

French is woven naturally into the classroom through songs, vocabulary, stories, and daily conversation, introducing the language in a playful way that supports early bilingual development.

Mandarin

Our Mandarin program introduces an additional language through music, movement, and simple conversational phrases. Early exposure helps children develop strong listening skills and cultural awareness.

Physical Education

Structured movement activities and games support gross motor development, coordination, balance, and overall health, while promoting strength, teamwork, and confidence in their bodies.

Social-Emotional Education

Through social-emotional learning, meditation, and mindfulness, children learn to recognize emotions, build self-regulation, and develop coping strategies in a calm and supportive environment.

Virtues Education

We place strong emphasis on character. Virtues such as patience, honesty, respect, responsibility, and gratitude are modelled daily and woven naturally into classroom life.

Public Speaking & Confidence

Regular opportunities to share, speak, and present in a supportive setting, through show-and-tell, group discussions, and storytelling, build confidence, self-expression, and strong communication skills.

Learning at each child’s own pace

Classrooms are thoughtfully designed so children can work at their own pace, revisit materials for mastery, and receive guidance tailored to their developmental stage.

Rather than accelerating children beyond their readiness, we focus on depth, mastery, and a genuine love of learning. Children develop early literacy, numeracy, concentration, and executive functioning skills within a carefully prepared environment.
