Our Learning Program
Meadow View Learning offers a private, mixed-age, Montessori Learning Program for ages 7-14 (grades 2-9, adding grades 10-12 in the coming years).
Our oldest students spend most of their time working on their projects and academic work, but they also have opportunities to serve as mentors for younger students. Each 3-year age group receives daily small group lessons in our various subjects (see below). Many of our Language and Math lessons may be given in very small groups or one-on-one depending on the level and needs of the student.
The Montessori approach is a wonderful way to instill a love of learning, challenge gifted kids, and nurture students who may be a little behind. Student work is tailored to the student's individual level. This is a truly customized approach!
Students explore and learn in the following subjects: History, U.S. History, World History, Geography, Geometry, Math, Language Arts, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Life Skills, Arts, and more! Older students also learn through fun electives such as photography, horticulture, home economics, career exploration, and many more.
In addition to strong academics, our program also features:
- Physical/sports activities on the expansive outside play area
- Monthly activities and field trips to add new learning experiences
- Focus on virtues and character development in a supportive environment
- Choice of Full Access (5 days/week) or Part-Time (3 days per week)
Our classes are held in Western Lincoln on 10 acres.
What is Montessori?
The Montessori approach is based on self-directed activity, collaborative play, and hands-on learning.
Based on the work of Maria Montessori, the approach involves these key aspects:
- Mixed-age classroom
- A prepared environment designed for maximum learning and exploration
- Small group lessons using hand-on materials and a comprehensive curriculum
Why a mixed-age classroom?
When children of different ages are together in one room, the younger kids have the opportunity to learn from the older ones. Often kids learn best from one another, and when a 6-year-old watches an 8-year-old work, they quickly understand what is expected and what kind of work lies ahead in their future.
In this environment the older children have many opportunities to serve in leadership roles, cultivating skills that are critical as they become independent members of their communities.
