Curriculum
Our Lower School curriculum is carefully chosen and researched to focus students on developing a deeper understanding of “why.” Teachers facilitate the talents and gifts of each child to help them discover new and creative ways to access knowledge, interpret content, and develop and share their ideas. Enrichment programs at Montverde Academy support our students through fun, educational programming that further develops academic, social, and creative growth through athletics, service opportunities, technology, and fine arts.
