Meet Our Upper Elementary Teachers

Overview of our Upper Elementary Faculties

At Sharanalaya, our upper elementary school program builds on the foundation established in earlier years, ensuring students aged 9-12 are primed for both academic and personal achievements. Spearheading the upper elementary section is C. Dhanvanthini, a seasoned Montessori educator who adeptly covers crucial subjects such as language, mathematics, environmental studies, and moral science. Her vibrant lessons ignite both curiosity and knowledge. Augmenting the in-class experiences are subject mavens like D. Sangeetha (Tamil) and Jyotrimayee Dash (Hindi), who bridge the connection between students and their rich cultural legacies.

Elevating the learning environment, M. Iyappan manages physical education and discipline, while Librarian Lukman M. fosters a love for reading. Our faculty, with their unwavering commitment and varied expertise, champions the holistic growth of every student between the ages of 9-12. Our shared mission: to unveil and nurture the distinct potential within every child.

Montessori for 9-12 Years Old

At Sharanalaya, our upper elementary program goes beyond rote learning – we nurture leadership and character.

Our classrooms are designed for independent discovery. Students ages 9-12 take charge of their learning, building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Teachers guide self-directed projects tailored to emerging interests and abilities. This fosters confidence and concentration.

Importantly, we develop emotional intelligence and integrity. Students learn to master their feelings, communicate thoughtfully, and realize how their choices impact others. This builds self-discipline and responsibility.

As they create and explore, students gain courage to take on new challenges. Step-by-step, they uncover their talents and potential.

Our Montessori approach doesn’t just prepare your 9-12 year old for adolescence – it shapes who they will become. Join Sharanalaya to nurture your child’s curiosity, competence, and conscience.
