Montessori Programme at Alpine Convent – Building Strong Foundations

    At Alpine, we approach education in a holistic way and focus on the unique developmental needs of each individual child. As one of the top Montessori schools in Gurgaon, we pride ourselves on providing an environment that fosters growth and learning. There are five key areas of learning in the Montessori environment. Each area helps children learn and grow by building strong foundations and stimulating their development through logical and creative experiences.

How Does the Montessori Curriculum Work?

    The Montessori programme provides children with five main areas of learning: real life, sensory, mathematics, language, and cultural studies. Each learning area consists of a series of learning materials of increasing complexity.

    Children progress through the Montessori curriculum at their own pace, based on their developmental stage and interests. Our well-trained Montessori educators lead key lessons introducing children to the titles and learning outcomes of each Montessori material.

    After key lessons, children practise and explore Montessori materials on their own and connect to key learning outcomes. At this time, Montessori educators step back, observe how children learn, and record their progress.

    Educators will intervene only when necessary to encourage children's independence, as there is a direct link between a child's self-esteem and ability to learn and retain new skills and information.

    A new class is offered when the child is ready to move on to the next level. Through repetition and practice, children master the sequence of Montessori materials and develop a fundamental understanding of each area of the curriculum.

Key Curriculum Areas

  • Practical life: Independence, social skills, and care for the environment
  • Sensorial: Colours, shapes, textures
  • Mathematics: Number recognition, counting, basic operations
  • Language: Vocabulary building, reading, writing
  • Cultural studies: Geography, history, science
