Geography
Geography in the Montessori Classroom
Geography plays a vital role in helping children develop both a spatial understanding of the world and a deeper appreciation of nature, culture, and human history. It provides the conceptual framework for how people and places connect—and serves as a bridge to the broader story of humankind and our planet.
In true Montessori fashion, children are first introduced to the big picture—such as the continents and major land and water forms—before gradually exploring more detailed concepts like specific countries, physical features, and cultural traditions.
To support this journey, the Geography category is divided into sub-categories, with lessons sequenced in the order they are typically introduced in Montessori classrooms. This progression helps children form meaningful connections between land, people, and place.
Scope & Sequence Format
The Geography 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—measurable learning objectives—tagged to the appropriate cycle year(s).
When available, parent-friendly descriptions are included to help families better understand the purpose and significance of the work their child is engaging in.
