Lower Elementary Education (6-9 Years) at Sharanalaya
Nurturing Curiosity – The Montessori Way
The lower elementary phase at Sharanalaya is a transformative period where children transition from the concrete to the abstract. Building on their primary foundation, students in this phase are introduced to more complex concepts, while still retaining the Montessori essence of self-directed learning.
Characteristics of the Lower Elementary Child
Children in the lower elementary age group are marked by their burgeoning curiosity and increasing independence. They begin to ask “why” and “how,” seeking deeper understanding and connections. Their social interactions become more nuanced, and they start to understand the complexities of relationships and group dynamics.
The Interactive Environment – Montessori Pedagogy
The Montessori classroom for lower elementary students is designed to foster interaction, exploration, and discovery. It’s a space where children can work individually or in groups, delving into subjects that pique their interest. The environment is both nurturing and challenging, ensuring that every child feels supported yet stimulated.

The Magic of Mixed-Age Classrooms
One of the unique features of Sharanalaya’s Montessori environment is our mixed-age classrooms. This setup allows younger students to learn from their older peers, while the older students reinforce their knowledge by teaching concepts they’ve already mastered. This dynamic creates a collaborative learning environment where students not only learn academic concepts but also values like patience, leadership, and empathy. It mirrors the real-world environment where interactions aren’t age-restricted, preparing them for real-life challenges.
