Teaching Methods
What is a balanced curriculum?
Balanced Curriculum
Sandpiper School uses a research based balanced curriculum that is a mixture of Montessori and mainstream methods. While the Montessori method creates an independent, motivated learner, we also are aware of the need to prepare the child for traditional schooling. Once our students graduate from kindergarten, they are well prepared for the academic challenges for mainstream schools both in Grenada and overseas.
Our classes are made up of individual, small, and large group lessons centered around concepts that are required by international educational standards. Activities are hands-on, play-based, and provide opportunities for exploration and manipulation. Sandpipers School uses Montessori manipulatives and learning centers to develop academics, independence, creativity, and motivation.
