As a 3-day homeschool hybrid, our curriculum blends hands-on learning, academic excellence, and the freedom to explore—so students grow in confidence, curiosity, and community, at their own pace.
Join us for the upcoming school year—spaces are limited!
At Southbridge, our three-day micro school is designed to give students a strong foundation in essential subjects while providing parents with the flexibility to enrich learning at home. During our on-campus days, we focus on the core areas that support academic growth, critical thinking, and personal character. Here’s what your child will experience with us each week:
Bringing Stories and Faith to Life
Each week, we explore Bible stories and a verse of the week, nurturing faith, wisdom, and character. These lessons encourage children to reflect, ask questions, and find inspiration for daily life.
Reading: Building Strong Bridges
Reading instruction is personalized for each child’s stage—whether they’re developing phonics skills, exploring story elements, or deepening comprehension. Our approach helps children become confident, thoughtful readers.
Grammar: Making Sense of Language
Students learn about parts of speech and sentence structure, discovering how language works through hands-on analysis and engaging activities.
Writing: Expressing Ideas with Purpose
From brainstorming and drafting to mastering sentence types, punctuation, and capitalization, we help students develop their writing voice. Different writing styles and structured practice encourage creativity and clarity.
Vocabulary Across the Curriculum
New words and concepts are woven into every subject, so children build a strong vocabulary as they explore reading, writing, science, history, and beyond.
Numbers, Patterns, and Problem Solving
Our math program is comprehensive, covering counting, number sense, patterns, operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division), and beyond. Students learn through hands-on activities and real-world story problems.
Exploring Advanced Math Concepts
Older students dive into graphing, estimating, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, exponents, and even variables—always at the pace that fits their readiness.
Shapes, Space, and Spatial Reasoning
Children study two- and three-dimensional shapes, lines, angles, polygons, and circles. Geometry lessons build understanding of spatial relationships and prepare students for more advanced math.
Connecting Past and Present
Through calendar work, timelines, and the study of ancient civilizations, students explore the story of humanity. We examine the fundamental needs of people around the world and throughout time, making history meaningful and relatable.
Hands-On Exploration of God’s Creation
Science comes to life through outdoor exploration and engaging experiments. Children are encouraged to observe, ask questions, and wonder at the natural world.
Discovering Our World
Students learn about continents, oceans, flags, land and water forms, and biomes. With map skills and continent studies, geography comes alive—helping children see their place in a global community.
At Southbridge, we believe learning happens everywhere—not just in the classroom. Our micro school covers essential subjects each week, but there’s a whole world to discover beyond school days. What you choose to explore at home is entirely up to your family. Use this time to reinforce, revisit, or dive deeper into the areas that best fit your child’s interests and needs.
Spend time learning together in ways that feel meaningful to your family. Whether that’s reading, discussion, music, or other activities, you have the freedom to choose what works for you.
Reading – A Shared Bridge
Keep reading at home according to your child’s stage. Reinforce phonics, story elements, and comprehension skills introduced at school, and nurture a love for books by reading together.
Spelling
For emergent and early readers, no extra curriculum is needed—school covers spelling and comprehension. If your child is ready for more, you may choose to introduce a spelling program at home, or ask us for suggestions.
Handwriting
Our school curriculum incorporates handwriting for early readers. For other children, families can decide if additional handwriting practice is needed.
Writing – A Shared Bridge
Rough drafts started at school will come home for revision (adding details, sentence variety) and editing (punctuation, spelling). Celebrate finished pieces by bringing them back to school.
Literature
Enjoy reading a variety of genres together—explore stories, poems, nonfiction, and more as a family.
Typing
If desired, families can choose to practice keyboarding and typing skills at home.
Explore math in daily life—telling time, counting money, measuring, cooking, and more. Everyday activities offer many opportunities for practical math learning.
Anything you want to spend time learning together is encouraged. Follow your child’s curiosity through books, documentaries, experiments, field trips, or family projects. The possibilities are endless.
At Southbridge Christian Montessori, we honor every child’s unique pace, interests, and potential. Our educators act as guides, creating an environment where students feel seen, supported, and empowered to take ownership of their learning journey.
Each student’s abilities and readiness are recognized and respected. Whether a child moves quickly through material or needs more time, our approach ensures that learning is meaningful, challenging, and always at the right level for them.
Children thrive when they have opportunities to explore their interests. Our classroom is designed for self-directed discovery, offering a variety of hands-on materials and activities that inspire students to ask questions and pursue their own passions.
Mistakes and challenges are viewed as essential steps in the learning process. Teachers gently guide students, helping them reflect, build perseverance, and celebrate progress—fostering confidence and a growth mindset that lasts a lifetime.
Art and music are woven into daily life, providing space for imagination, self-expression, and joy. Each child is encouraged to find their unique voice.
From caring for the environment to preparing food, children practice independence and responsibility through purposeful tasks, gaining confidence in their abilities.
Multi-age classrooms and group projects foster cooperation, empathy, and real friendships. Every child is part of a caring community.
Our curriculum is built around the belief that every child is full of potential and worthy of discovery. At Southbridge, learning is a journey guided by curiosity and supported by caring educators who recognize each child’s individuality.
We blend traditional academics with hands-on experiences, inviting students to think deeply, solve problems, and express themselves creatively. Family partnership is central, and together we create an environment where growth happens naturally—academically, socially, and emotionally.
By honoring each child’s pace and passion, we help them become resilient, compassionate learners who are prepared for the challenges ahead.
