Academics

From creche to Primary 6, one continuous path.

Classes are grouped under our Comely (early years) and Prodigy (nursery and primary) stages. Every class is taught through Montessori practice, and the primary classes follow the Basic curriculum.

Curriculum

We deliver the Nigerian national (NERDC) curriculum through Montessori practice: prepared environments, hands-on materials and teachers who guide rather than lecture.

In the early years, children work with real materials at their own pace and learn to concentrate, coordinate and do things for themselves. In the primary classes, the same habits carry into the Basic curriculum subjects listed here.

Subjects at Basic level

  • English
  • Mathematics
  • Basic Science
  • Civic Education
  • Quantitative Reasoning
  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Phonics
  • ICT
  • Religious Studies
  • Social Studies
  • Pre-Vocational Studies
How we teach

Our teaching principles.

Five commitments that shape every classroom at PROCOM.

  • We value every child as a unique individual.
  • We develop order, excellence, coordination, concentration and independence.
  • We create a close, caring community where every child feels safe and loved.
  • We teach children to teach themselves as active seekers of knowledge.
  • We believe there is genius in everyone and build an environment of respect and honour.
Our guides

What we ask of every teacher and caregiver.

In a Montessori classroom the teacher is a guide. Six qualities describe the guides we look for and grow.

  • Humility.
  • Observe and listen.
  • Trust in the child's greatness, with patience.
  • Guide the use of materials and the environment.
  • Lead by example.
  • Be active seekers of knowledge.
