Quantum Montessori Middle School (Secondary I) Program

Quantum Developers

Quantum Montessori’s Middle School (Secondary I) program is designed to provide a dynamic and supportive learning environment for students in grades 6-8. Our program focuses on fostering independence, critical thinking, and a deep love for learning. By integrating Montessori principles with innovative educational practices, we prepare students for the academic and social challenges of high school and beyond.

Character Development

In Quantum Montessori’s Middle School program, 7th and 8th graders will have the opportunity to dive deep into the principles and practices of the Montessori education method. Through hands-on activities and virtual lessons, they will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-directed learning skills. They will also learn about STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) subjects through interactive projects and experiments, fostering their curiosity and creativity.

Additionally, students will receive training in social and emotional learning (SEL) to support their academic and personal growth. They will learn about self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making. This will help them develop essential skills for personal and professional success. Students will also have access to various literacy resources and participate in literacy-based activities to enhance their reading, writing, and communication skills.
