Montessori Elementary 6-12 | Class 1 to Class 6, Ages 6 to 12

Assessment & Progress

There are no board exams at this level. So how do you know your child is learning? In the AMI Elementary tradition, assessment is continuous and observation-based, not periodic and test-based. The AMI-certified guide maintains detailed records of every presentation given, every material worked with, and every stage of mastery reached by each child. This is not anecdotal. It is systematic.

How progress is tracked:

• •
  Guide's Record-Keeping: The guide maintains a detailed record of presentations given to each child and work completed, tracking which concepts have been introduced, which are being practised, and which have been mastered.
• •
  Child's Work Journal: Children maintain their own work logs, recording what they chose, what they completed, and what they want to pursue next. This builds metacognitive awareness alongside academic progress.
• •
  Portfolio of Work: Completed work, research reports, mathematical operations, maps, timelines, creative writing, art, is collected and reviewed as evidence of development over time.
• •
  Individual Conferences: The guide meets with each child regularly to discuss their work, their interests, and their challenges. This is the primary feedback mechanism.
• •
  Parent Communication: Progress is shared with parents through structured observation-based reports and parent-guide conferences, not through grades or rankings.
