The multi-age classroom setting in our Elementary program creates a strong sense of community, where students of different ages can collaborate, mentor, and learn from each other. Peer teaching plays a critical role in the development of self-esteem and confidence, allowing older students to take leadership roles while younger students benefit from their guidance. This collaborative spirit is a hallmark of the Montessori Method, providing a rich, dynamic learning experience for every child. As children mature, they transition from concrete to abstract thinking, developing an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the world around them. Their interest in science, technology, geography, and cultural studies grows naturally, and they begin to explore complex topics and question the status quo. This intellectual curiosity often leads them to ask deep, philosophical questions about the world, much like the innovators who once walked the halls of Montessori schools. For example, the founders of Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon all credited their Montessori education with fostering the creativity and confidence they needed to challenge conventional thinking and revolutionize entire industries.

In 2004, the Marlboro Montessori Academy and Jean Avery received a United States Patent for math teaching materials. These innovative "Math Made Easy" learning boards give students the hands-on Montessori approach to understanding basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
