Elementary Montessori Albums

Elementary Montessori online albums, support and training for everyone working with the age 6-12 years old elementary child: homeschool, classroom school teachers, assistants, aides, parents, Montessori school employees, elementary curriculum specialists and more – at home or in schools – for children ages 6-12 (and a bit higher). The albums contain what some call the Montessori curriculum, which said curriculum is completed by following the needs and interests of the child before you.

Cosmic Education: Explore the cosmos with Montessori cosmic education – learn how to use all those Montessori timelines and elementary Montessori math materials, delve into our home, the earth and reach into the stars. Elementary Montessori children explore life both past and present while gaining the skills they need for the future – all while living NOW.

Benefits of AMI Albums for Elementary Montessori:

  • Albums are Keys-Based – providing the keys for every child, opening doors of exploration for every child to explore their own interests – they have TIME and they have SPACE to explore their universe; no being tied to just one source for your experiences and resources – children at home in all environments and learning areas. The child truly learns how to learn.
  • Montessori Elementary Albums include the complete elementary Montessori curriculum:
    • Lower elementary and upper elementary (6-12 continuum; used for both 6-9 and 9-12)

Download the albums; they are also stored online for ease of access.
  • Designed for homeschool and classroom use – modified by an AMI Montessori-trained homeschooling mom who uses Montessori elementary at home with her own child right now.
