About our Curriculum Extensions program


In this program, preschool and kindergarten children will participate in the morning Primary “work” period from 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM and continue to engage in hands-on learning experiences that encourage their natural curiosity and love for knowledge until afternoon dismissal at 3:00 PM.


For families seeking a balanced and enriching full-day educational experience, the Primary + Curriculum Extensions program provides a seamless and supportive solution.


A day in our Curriculum Extensions program


Every day in Primary + Curriculum Extensions begins with devotional time with friends followed by a morning of discovery, community and skill-building in our Montessori classroom. The afternoons are for our extended curriculum which includes enriched academic content, deeper exploration of spiritual lessons, and additional opportunities for social and emotional development. This ensures that students have a well-rounded experience throughout their day, while still enjoying the benefits of the Montessori method in a Christ-centered environment.
