[quote=Anonymous]The standard age groupings in Montessori are ages 3-5, called Primary, where age 5 equals Kindergarten, then ages 6-8, called Lower Elementary, corresponding to grades 1-3. The bigger difference is that many US schools, public or private, do not teach geography at all. Geography is built-in to the usual (i.e., AMI or AMS accredited) Montessori curriculum. Geography is not just names of continents, but how to read a map, shapes of various countries, which countries have which neighboring countries, how climates differ, and so on.[/quote]
