High School
The Montessori program at PGSS is an enriching alternative and effectively bridges the transition from elementary to high school. Students spend either mornings or afternoons in the Montessori Classroom studying their core courses (English, Math, Science and Social Studies), joining the mainstream classes for their chosen electives opposite their core courses.
The program includes:
- a three year age span, offering an early high school entry option, and continues through grade 9
- curriculum and instruction based on Montessori philosophy
- an emphasis on independent, self-directed and experiential learning
- integration of subjects
- a strong, supportive community
- appreciation for the greater world they live in through the study of environmental themes and global issues
- service to the community as a fundamental element
