Preschool Curriculum
Preschool Montessori Methodology
Our Preschool Montessori Curriculum offers children five key areas of study: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Cultural Studies. Each area of study is made up of a set of educational materials that increase in complexity. Children progress through the Montessori Curriculum at their own pace based on their stage of development and interests.
The Classroom Directress who are well trained and with wider Montessori experience presents key lessons to introduce children to the name and learning outcomes of each Montessori material. After a Key Lesson, the children work with the Montessori material independently to practice, explore, and make connections to the key learning outcomes.
During this time, our Classroom Directress observes how the children are learning, and document their progress. An educator will only intervene if needed, to encourage children’s independence, as there is a direct link between children’s sense of empowerment and their ability to learn and retain new skills and information.
New lessons are provided when a child is ready to progress to the next stage. Through repetition and practice, children master the progression of the Montessori materials, and develop a fundamental understanding of each curriculum area.
Key Curriculum Areas
Practical Life
Independence, social skills and care for the environment
Sensorial
Colours, shapes, textures, weights, dimension, discrimination and distinguishing between smells, taste and sound
Mathematics
Number, quantities, counting, addition, subtraction, decimal system, multiplication, and division
Language
Oral language, phonics, letter formation, sentence structure, vowels and consonants, writing, reading and early literacy skills.
Culture
Geography, botany, zoology, science, history, music and art
The Five Areas of the Montessori Curriculum
Practical Life
The Montessori Practical Life Curriculum incorporates exercises and activities that children observe in daily life. These activities develop children’s independence, concentration, and fine motor skills. Typical practical life activities involve transferring, food preparation, lessons in grace and courtesy, and cleaning.
Sensorial Arts
Sensorial activities teach children to refine their senses of sight, touch, sound, smell and taste so that they are able to organise sensory impressions and their understanding of the world. Through sensorial materials, children learn about similarity and difference, dimensions, colours and shapes, and distinguish between smells, taste and sound. Sensorial work also prepares children for mathematics, language and geometry by teaching children how to classify and sort.
Mathematics
The Mathematics Curriculum teaches children to understand abstract mathematical concepts and relationships through hands-on learning experiences. Children learn to count, identify and match numerals to their quantity, relate decimal quantities and symbols, and become aware of the functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division by using the Montessori materials.
Language
The Montessori Language Curriculum provides children with the knowledge and skills to build their vocabulary and understanding of language. The skills required for reading, writing and oral language are developed through hands-on experience using the Montessori language materials. Children learn letter sounds (phonics), letter identification and formation, how to combine sounds to make words, how to build simple sentences, and how to properly hold a pencil. Oral language skills are developed through daily social interactions, group time experiences, and lessons in grace and courtesy.
Culture
The Culture Curriculum incorporates a wide range of subjects, including: Geography, Botany, Zoology, Science, History, Music and Art. Through explorations of culture, children develop an understanding of their community, their world, and their social responsibilities. Children learn to respond to diversity with respect, appreciate music and art, and develop awareness of sustainability.

Every year starting at year 3, at the end of each year, they will face progression test on the English, Mathematics, and Science.
At year 5, students will take ANBK (Assement National Berbasis Komputer).
At the end of Primary School, the students will take National Examinations and Cambridge Primary Checkpoint Exams.
MGPS is also offer STEAM, it is an eduational approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and mathematics as access points for guiding student inquiry, dialogue, and critical thinking. The end results are students who take thoughtful risks, engage in experiential learning, and persist in problem solving.
STEAM empowers teachers to employ Project-based learning that crosses each of the five disciplines and fosters an inclusive learning environment in which all students are able to engage and contribute.

Montessori Approach
Why is the Montessori approach important?
One of the greatest benefits of the Montessori Method, particularly during the early learning experience, is the focus on hands-on learning. The emphasis is on concrete, rather than abstract learning, as students work on activities that teach language, math, culture and practical life lessons.
