Cultural Subject (DMT 108)

The Montessori cultural subjects include:

1. Nature study - The key to work in Nature study is to follow and stimulate your children's natural interest. It includes the study of living and non-living things. Children will have the opportunity to explore and understand their environment.

2. Botany and Zoology - The Montessori and zoology materials help children classify and refine their perception, enriching the purely sensorial experience, thereby creating the foundation for scientific knowledge to be acquired in the years to come.

3. Geography - The geography materials allow children to explore the universe sensorially. Children will learn to classify over the ages, organising it into continents and countries.

4. History - The study of history is one aspect of your child's developing awareness of the world in which he/she lives. Children will learn history through creative activities such as modelling, painting, acting, timeline and stories
