Curriculum Overview

This is the first comparison of Washington State Learning Components/Objectives to the elementary expectations of the Association Montessori International (AMI).

Although the expectations are targeted for a certain age or grade level, staying true to the yearly learning objectives at Skinner will depend on:

When your child starts the respective programs
Their desire to learn
Parental commitment
Attendance
Social skills
The commitment by the school administrator toward academic excellence
