Culture, presented as an extension of the four other areas of the Montessori curriculum, covers a range of topics such as History, Geography, Biology, Science, Physical Education, and the Arts. These activities aim to cultivate an interest in learning about these topics for further exploration later in their lives. Learning about the world, its nature, people, history, culture, and other forms of life inspires children to be environmentally conscious while respecting all human beings and other forms of life with whom we share this world. Topics such as Art, music, poetry, dance, and sports allow children to enjoy and explore a variety of creative activities.
