Explore the Comprehensive Montessori Scope & Sequence
History
History in the Montessori Classroom
The History Scope and Sequence invites children to explore the unfolding story of our planet and its people—from the origins of the Earth to the evolution of life and the rise of human civilizations. These lessons help children develop a sense of time, perspective, and continuity, laying the foundation for deeper cultural understanding and global awareness.
In keeping with the Montessori approach, abstract historical concepts are brought to life through concrete materials, impressionistic charts, and engaging narratives. Children begin with the big picture and gradually explore the details—connecting events, cultures, and contributions across time.
To support this developmental journey, the History category is divided into sub-categories, with lessons sequenced in the order they are typically introduced in Montessori classrooms.
Scope & Sequence Format
The History Scope and Sequence is presented in an “online magazine” format. Lessons and materials are listed in the same sequence as they appear in the Montessori Compass online record-keeping platform. Each lesson may include multiple elements—specific, measurable learning objectives—tagged to the appropriate cycle year(s).
Where applicable, parent-friendly descriptions are included to help families gain insight into the rich historical themes explored in the Montessori classroom.
