OUR PROGAMS

CHILDREN'S HOUSE

• 4K – Kindergarten Students
• Our Early Childhood Education classroom communities offer a rich variety of opportunities for children to experience freedom within a secure, attractively structured and welcoming environment.

E-1 (Elementary One)

• 1st – 3rd Graders
• Our elementary program is an extension of our Early Childhood (Preschool and Kindergarten) program. We follow Montessori “Best Practices” and maintain the highest standards of Montessori education while remaining true to its principles and philosophy. The child coming from Early Childhood (Preschool and Kindergarten) to elementary has an especially smooth transition because the materials build upon each other. The materials he/she built a foundation and are present in the lower elementary classroom as well. The materials, the way in which the environments are set up make a wonderful bridge from one level to the other. We also carefully transfer the child’s records from Early Childhood (Preschool and Kindergarten) to Lower Elementary and from Lower to Upper Elementary this includes teachers getting together to talk about the social, emotional and academic needs of the individual children.

E-2 (Elementary Two)

• 4th – 6th Graders
• Using the ideas of Maria Montessori, Upper Elementary teachers at TAMS prepare a curriculum and learning environment that invites each student to become an active participant in his or her own learning process. The transition from Lower Elementary to Middle School is a time of great change for Upper Elementary students as they move from the concrete world of their earlier years to the threshold of abstract thinking found in the older classrooms.

OTHER SERVICES

• Services such as Title 1, special education, guidance classes, and school counseling services are available to TAMS students.
