Montessori School of Greater Hartford:
Established in 1964, Montessori School of Greater Hartford is an independent, Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) school located in West Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut offering toddler, primary, elementary, morning and afterschool care, recess and vacation programs. Drawing from its home base and from more than 30 surrounding towns, MSGH welcomes a diverse community of more than 170 children ages 15 months to 12 years to its doors every school day.
Our toddlers explore the many beautiful Montessori materials in the classroom or garden, receive individual or group lessons from the teacher, or participate in small group activities such as singing, dancing, story-telling, gardening and food preparation.
Our curriculum for primary students is organized into five major subject areas designated “practical life,” “sensorial,” “language,” “mathematics,” and “culture” which are filled with hands-on, didactic materials corresponding to each subject. Elementary studies for children ages 6- 12 include geography, biology, science, history, language, mathematics, music and art. Foreign language (Spanish), physical education, computer literacy and gardening are also offered.
