VICTORIA MONTESSORI SCHOOL IN AURORA

Weekday Programs

The program on weekdays consists of these topics:
Our weekday French program focuses on introducing and further developing French language and written skills. We strive to promote a secure stimulating environment that promotes the child’s self-confidence and facilitates building a positive self-image to practice their French skills.

Our Mandarin classes will allow students to learn by focusing on basic grammar, listening, writing, reading and through conversation.

PIn Yin will be taught in these classes.

The children who attend our art classes come from very different artisitic backgrounds. We happily welcome beginners, and our drawing class is taught by an instructor in a friendly manner that enables all students to feel comfortable about learning real art skills.

The children will begin with simple expessive lines and shapes, with focus on fundamental drawing and painting skills. When students move on to a more advanced level, they will learn about shading, textures, light shadows and perspective. Not only will they experience a variety of drawing materials like graphite, charcoal and pastels while learning, but they will be given the opportunity to explore the unique quality of painting media like acrylics and oil pastels. This will be introduced to them when they learn about the color wheel, basic washes, and mixing colors.

Although the curriculum is structured around these goals, each student is given a variety of projects which help to keep the classes fun and very diverse.

Our dance class focuses on teaching folk dance and basic ballet. The children will be taught by a qualified dance instructor, and they will also learn Chinese tribal dances such as: Han, Tibetan, Uyghur, Xian, Mongol, Dai, etc.. In addition, they will be taught the world’s specialty dances like: Jazz, Hip Hop, Latin, Indian, Korean, Japanese, Indonesian, Arabian and South American. Lastly, our students will learn to develop self-confidence and a physical awareness while gaining strength through the discipline of movement.

Our piano lessons are designed for children to learn the basics of the instrument in a stimulating and nurturing environment.

Research shows that early childhood is the window of opportunity to increase the life-long musical aptitude of a child. Furthermore, learning to play the piano and the study of music in general, engages both hemispheres of the brain.

Children will be taught the fundamentals of the piano, basic music theory, and be given one-on-one attention from our experienced & qualified instructor. Moreover, they will be prepared for the RCM exams if needed.
