Exploring the World: Geography at Montessori Academy Idaho
Geography, taught right, is a beautiful way of stoking a child’s imagination.
It’s an excellent opportunity for cross-disciplinary learning—for making art and practicing fine motor skills, for reading tied to content learning, for storytelling and report-writing.

From preschool through elementary, our students embark on a captivating journey of discovery, developing a deep appreciation for our planet’s diverse cultures, landforms, and interconnectedness.
