- Full three-year cycles, beginning at age 3
- Uninterrupted work periods at all levels
- A fully integrated curriculum including art and music
- A full day program for the Primary level
- Minimal use of supplementary material at the Primary (ages 3-6) level
- Trained Montessori teachers (“Guides”) and assistants in every classroom
- A full compliment of Montessori materials in all classrooms
- Montessori trained/experienced leadership
