MARIA MONTESSORI REFERRED TO HER ELEMENTARY PROGRAM AS "COSMIC EDUCATION" UNIFYING THE DISPARATE SUBJECTS INTO A UNIFIED WHOLE. COSMIC EDUCATION IS BROKEN DOWN INTO THE "FIVE GREAT LESSONS" WHICH ARE AN IMPORTANT AND UNIQUE PART OF THE MONTESSORI CURRICULUM. THESE LESSONS ARE BOLD, EXCITING, AND ARE DESIGNED TO AWAKEN A CHILD'S IMAGINATION AND CURIOSITY. CHILDREN ARE STRUCK WITH THE WONDER OF CREATION, THRILLED WITH NEW IDEAS, AND AWED BY THE INVENTIVENESS AND INNOVATION THAT IS PART OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. DURING THE 2016/17 SCHOOL YEAR, 33 STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED; THERE ARE 35 STUDENTS ENROLLED FOR THE 2017/18 SCHOOL YEAR.
