Our Environment
Our environment is open and dedicated to children from 6 to 12 years old. Children are divided into two groups, approximately 6 to 9 and 9 to 12. As we follow every child's learning path, groups may overlap at times and placement will reflect your child's personal progresses.
我们的环境是开放式的，并且适合6—12岁孩子。孩子们被分为两组，大致6到9岁一组和9到12岁一组。由于我们密切关注每个孩子的学习轨迹，分组可能会有部分重叠，这反映了您孩子的个人进度。
Lower Elementary 6 - 9
Children in this age group are constantly moving between their concrete experiences and the new abstract concepts they discover every day. It is the age of "big questions" and big discoveries. Their brain is approaching the "blooming or pruning" stage, the reasoning and cognitive control improves. Big emotions challenge them everyday. They need space and yet a secure guidance to discover their own path.
这个年龄组的孩子不断地在他们的具体经验与每天发现的新抽象概念之间游移。这是“大问题”与“大发现”的年龄段。他们的头脑正进入“开花或修剪”阶段，推理和认知控制有所提高。大情绪每天挑战着他们。他们需要空间和一个安全的指导以发现适合他们自己的路径。
Upper Elementary 9 - 12
The abstract thinking is now taking the lead. This is the age of "reasoning": children are starting to see the bigger picture, look past themselves, and figure out things that would have completely eluded them a few years before. They need a guide now who is able to help them bring their abstract thoughts into concrete experiences. On the emotional side, they need to learn how to constructively address their emotions outwards.
抽象的思考此时占主导地位。这是“推理”的年龄段。孩子们开始看大一些的图片，回看过去的自己，并且解决过去几年前完全回避的事情。他们这时需要一个能帮助他们将他们的抽象思维带入具体经验的向导。在情感方面，他们需要学习如何建设性地向外处理自己的情绪。
Going Out Activities
Go explore! 去探索！
Outings and field trips are key in Montessori education. Children belong to the world and the world belongs to them! We all need to learn how to move into the ever-changing world through experience. We will integrate field trips and outings in our program as often as we can, weather pending. Information will be sent out to families accordingly.
郊游和户外旅行是蒙特梭利教育中的重点之一。孩子们属于这个世界，同时世界也属于他们。我们都需要学习如何通过实践适应时刻变化的世界。我们的课程中会结合天气情况，尽可能多地开展户外旅行与郊游。相关消息将发送给各个家庭。
Extra Activities
Unfold your talents! 展现你的才能!
We care for the whole child. Our aim is to offer an environment where the child feels free to explore her/his own talents and finds her/his own way. We cooperate with the best professional trainers in the city to offer art, music, yoga, ballet and more. Language classes are also available throughout the year.
我们关注孩子的整体性。我们的目标是为孩子们提供一个能在其中自由探索自我才能和找到自我方向的环境。我们跟这个城市最专业的老师合作，提供艺术、音乐、舞蹈、体育训练等。语言班也全年开设。
