SUMMER PROGRAM

The Montessori School of New York International offers a fun and educational summer program to students from age 2 to 14. We offer a unique combination of both indoor Montessori activities and outdoor camp activities. This choice of outdoor space lends itself to free play and organized games as well as Educational Field Trips. Besides, the zoos, the playgrounds, and the meadows of the various parks, the children will enjoy visits to the nearby Botanic Gardens and Children’s museums as we as the many cultural experiences available in NYC. Our summer program themes change from year to year, however the information below is indicative of our general program.

We offer a unique combination of both indoor Montessori activities and outdoor camp activities in our classrooms as well as in the neighboring and spacious Prospect Park, Flushing Meadows and Central Park.

This choice of outdoor space lends itself to free play and organized games as well as Educational Field Trips. Besides the zoos, the playgrounds, and the meadows of the various parks, the children will enjoy visits to the nearby Botanic Gardens and Children’s Museums as well as the local libraries.

While in the classroom, emphasis will be on Montessori Educational Exercises for Early Learners with special preparation for reading and number work. Older children will enjoy relating reading and number work with their field trips and their experiments in Science and Biology. Those having difficulties with math and reading can benefit a great deal from this program.

The All Day Children will have the opportunities to widen their experience even further through filed trips to the United Nations, The Natural History Museum, the Planetarium, the Aquarium, various zoos and museums and much more!

Our rainy day activities will include cooking, basic gymnastics (floor exercises) and elocution.

All will enjoy beginning swimming instruction and water play for the younger children on hot days.

Weekly trips for pony riding or pony cart riding and horses for the older children can be arranged for a special fee.

So that the children may have a well-rounded experience, we have planned excellent programs in Music and Movement, Arts and Crafts, and Language, culminating in an End-of-Camp Talent Show.

Children enrolled in the Summer Program will be given preference for September Admission. Children find the Summer Program an exciting experience and an easy transition between home and school.

The Summer will also give those unable to attend the Fall Session an opportunity to experience at least a short Montessori term. For young children who need to be phased in, summer is an excellent time to do so.
