Fourth, fifth and sixth graders enrolled in Quantum Montessori's Virtual Montessori classroom will learn a wide range of skills and concepts across multiple subject areas. Through the Montessori approach, students will develop their independence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. They will also learn about practical life skills, cultural studies, and how to work with different materials to engage in hands-on learning experiences. The virtual classroom will also place a strong emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) education, allowing students to explore and create in these fields through hands-on projects and activities. This will help them develop skills such as creativity, collaboration, and innovation.

Through our focus on SEL (social and emotional learning), students will learn how to manage their emotions, build empathy, and develop healthy relationships with others. This will include activities and discussions that promote self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, and social awareness. In terms of literacy, students will receive a well-rounded education through a variety of reading, writing, and language activities. They will also have opportunities to develop their communication skills through presentations, debates, and other interactive projects. Finally, our entrepreneurship focus will teach students about financial literacy, problem-solving, marketing, and product development. They will have the chance to turn their ideas into a business venture and develop important skills that will prepare them for the future. Overall, the 5th and 6th graders enrolled in our virtual Montessori classroom will gain a strong foundation in academic, social, emotional, and practical skills that will set them up for success in their future educational and personal endeavors. 

Ms. Marquis, Upper Elementary Guide

Hello! My name is Ms. Marquis and I am an Upper Elementary educator at Quantum Montessori. I have always been passionate about education and helping young minds grow and flourish. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I am proud to say that I hold AMI certifications from the Association Montessori Internationale.

My journey in Montessori education began when I was introduced to the philosophy during my undergraduate studies. From that moment on, I was captivated by the child-centered approach and the emphasis on developing independent, critical thinkers. I quickly decided to pursue my AMI training and have never looked back.

As an AMI certified educator, I am committed to staying true to the Montessori principles and always strive to create an enriching and engaging learning environment for my students. I strongly believe in the power of hands-on learning and creating personalized learning experiences for each child.

My goal as an Upper Elementary educator is to guide and support my students in their academic, social, emotional, and physical growth. I encourage them to be curious, to question, and to take ownership of their learning. My students not only excel academically, but also develop a strong sense of self, a love for learning, and a deep respect for their peers and the world around them.

I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the Quantum Montessori community and to have the opportunity to work with such dedicated and passionate educators. I am consistently inspired by my students and their unique perspectives, and I look forward to fostering a love for learning that will last a lifetime.

🎉 We are delighted to introduce you to one of your educators and Quantum Montessori™ founder, Ms. Ashleigh Stevens, an Elementary Montessori Guide and homeschool mom to three children.

Thank you for taking the time to explore our profile. We eagerly anticipate you joining us on your learning journey. I founded the Quantum Montessori Institute with a team of outstanding educators and leaders. I wanted parents to feel empowered to educate their children from home confidently, while also working, running a business, living an RV lifestyle, traveling the world, or simply seeking a hybrid learning environment. My passion for Montessori has led me to work with a diverse group of youth. My aim is to ensure an equitable experience, one that equally prioritizes the wellbeing of the child, parents, and educators.

Homework Offered
Each day learners should spend up to 1 hour working on independent asynchronous work. “Homework” is optional but recommended to take full advantage of this learning experience and to maintain homeschool records for your learner.
2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
We offer learners an opportunity to have a full learning assessment upon enrollment. Assessment materials will be provided to families to administer then reviewed by our educators to assist in developing an individualized learning plan.
Grades Offered
Instead of traditional letter or number grades, students are evaluated based on their progress and mastery of specific skills and concepts. This allows children to focus on their own personal growth and development, rather than being compared to their peers. Quantum educators carefully observe and document each child’s progress, providing them with ongoing feedback and guidance for continued improvement. This grading system encourages a growth mindset, where children are motivated to constantly strive for personal excellence and deepen their understanding of various subjects. Through this approach, Quantum Montessori aims to create lifelong learners who are confident and self-motivated.

Quantum Montessori's lessons provide individualized learning, multisensory activities, and STEAM projects to accommodate ADHD and Dyslexia. Trained educators use Montessori principles to foster independence, focus, and positive self-esteem.
