Discover the essence of knowledge with Earthlore – A CBSE affiliated institution. Dive into curated modules that ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and nurture critical thinking.
Age Group: 6-12 years
Children of this age group begin to carve their intellectual property. They prefer group/peer learning . The scientifically prepared Montessori materials take them to the very heights. The principle of cosmic education offers the entire universe to the seeking minds of the child.
Children get to lay their hands on the miniature activities set up especially for them. This is more appealing to children than any toys. It’s rather surprising to watch them drawn to it as if fish to water.
Other major areas of learning are
Linguistic
Pre Primary Program
Areas of Learning
Practical Life
Daily life activities
The practical life area is that a young child explores in the Montessori environment, and is made up of special “play” activities that provide real life experiences
Sensorial
Senses are the gateway to intelligence
Without the sensory memory, the abstract functioning of a child’s intelligence will lack wealth, precision and variety in thinking.
Language
Language is barely a breath! A few noises strung together
The child at Montessori finds a great freedom to speak. The variety of activities that he performs gives him Lot more exposure and a vivid experience, which will increase the scope of stimulation for precise and clear expression.

Adolescent Program
Adolescent Program is for the children of the age group of 12 – 15 years that is Grade 6 to 9 and Grade 10 . This is also called as the Erd Kinder Program – meaning “Earth Children”. Dr Montessori says – Connect the children to the earth and they have it all.
This Program nurtures children through Community living and they are involved in both Study and Work cycles. Each of these Study and Work cycles aligns to the generally followed School term .The study topics covered are in concurrence with the CBSE curriculum.
Every morning 1.5 hours is devoted to the Work cycle and the rest for Study and Co curricular.
Co curricular activities are Theatre, Dance , Music , Art and Sports
Being the first of its kind in India , the program facilitates curiosity driven academic learning , Real life skills, Critical thinking and problem solving, Socio emotional development , all the more to face failures and to build resilience
Students are engaged in various hands on activities of real work. Unlike the Pre primary and Elementary who will be working with the materials for specific concepts , the Adolescents will have Real Adult work to do like Cooking, Farming, Care of community, animal rearing etc. Why would they do all this ? The community is their responsibility.Their cycle begins with a community meeting, recognition of their needs and a midmapping session. The school hands over minimum facility and a seed fund to begin with. They will have to generate revenue for themselves for their food, projects and activities. They sell their produce in the market, they shop their required groceries themselves . Create the required network for the same. The work cycle instils in them all the required life skills , accountability ,a deep sense of belongingness and responsibility
This includes Subject studies of the CBSE syllabus- Literacy, Mathematics, Science and Social science. The study arises from the need of the work the adolescents are doing in the community. Examples are as follows - *Spoilage & Microorganisms is a topic they want to understand when the cooking team found a need for it. *Soils / Area/ Force etc are the topics arising from the Farm team *Accounts/Mathematical operations etc can arise from the Budget team The mode of learning does not limit to only classroom lectures but is also through Subject seminars Research work Self study This integrated learning with Study and Work cycles ends with Self- evaluation and Presentations by the Adolescents Sessions like Coffee houses are the means for their self expression.
