Your 7-year-old is venturing into one of the most exciting phases of Montessori learning: the second plane of development.
At this age, your child’s imagination is expanding rapidly. They want to know why things happen, not just what happens. They love hearing big stories about the universe, ancient civilizations, and how the natural world works. They’re starting to think deeply, reason critically, and connect ideas across subjects.
Montessori education meets this explosion of curiosity with rich, interdisciplinary lessons that encourage exploration, creativity, and responsibility.
Big Questions.
Big Projects.
What Your 7-Year-Old Needs from You Right Now.
Your 7-year-old is craving meaningful work—and the space to explore big ideas.
What They Need from You
Invitations to tackle longer, interconnected projects (not just one-off lessons)
Freedom to research, plan, create, and present their ideas
Respect for their growing moral awareness and sense of fairness
What You’ll See in Them
A hunger for "big picture" learning—history, science, geography, and culture
Interest in starting group projects (even if it’s just with siblings or friends)
A deepening ability to read independently, write creatively, and solve multi-step math problems
A growing awareness of global issues and empathy for others
Our curriculum channels all that energy into purposeful, exciting work in every academic area!
