Elonera Montessori School primary is designed for children who preferably, but not necessarily, have attended the traditional Montessori Children’s House.
All subjects from the Children’s House are greatly expanded in the primary. Research is an important aspect of the Primary classrooms and the children explore alone, in cooperative groups and as a class, such subjects as astronomy, geology, physics, evolution, biology and history. As they study, the children begin to perceive the links between these fields and often find that new areas of study open for them.
Mathematics and language also form a pivotal part of the child’s experiences and learning. Concrete Montessori materials facilitate understanding, while a full curriculum embracing all of the elements of a traditional curriculum, approaching them from a Montessori perspective. |

Elonera Montessori School now offers both the Higher School Certificate (HSC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme as options for Years 11 and 12.
As an IB World School, we join a global community of schools that share a common philosophy – a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Elonera Montessori School believes is important for its students.
Students in Years 7 and 8 study all mandatory Board of Studies subjects. All subjects are studied in a two-year cycle, except mathematics, where each student is on an individual program, and Italian, where subjects are offered in year groups. Students in Years 9 and 10 are offered electives in addition to the mandatory Board of Studies subjects. Electives generally offer students the opportunity to pursue and consolidate their interest and skill in a particular area of learning. |
