Grades 1–6
Alsion Elementary
Alsion Elementary guides children ages 6–12 to cultivate a love of learning through purposeful, hands-on work in a small, close-knit community. Children build academic understanding, independence, thoughtful reasoning, and a strong sense of belonging as they explore an interconnected world.
Elementary children bring powerful imagination, growing social awareness, and an intense desire to understand how the world works. Through Cosmic Education, concrete Montessori materials, collaborative work, and gradually increasing responsibility, they learn to connect ideas across disciplines and make meaningful contributions to their community.
Children study language and literature, mathematics and geometry, science and nature, history and geography, artistic and physical expression, and practical and community life. Lessons move from concrete experience toward abstraction, from compelling stories toward disciplined study, and from individual interest toward shared knowledge.
After grade 6, Alsion Middle School serves grades 7–9 on our Witherly Lane campus.

Elementary School Director
A Welcome from Ms. Boi
I’m Boi Hazarika, the Elementary Director at Alsion. Welcome! After nearly 25 years in Montessori education, I’m still curious.
Those little ones grow taller, and their questions grow bigger! As you begin thinking about Elementary, you may look back and wonder: where did the years go? And then look ahead and ask: what comes next?
What I love about Elementary Montessori is that learning how to learn matters just as much as learning the answer. There is room here to follow a question further, try another way when something doesn’t work, and discover that a classmate has an idea worth listening to. Growing independence comes with growing responsibility—with a teacher close by to guide, challenge, and help.
Alsion is one Montessori school with three chapters: Elementary, Middle School, and Early College.
The best way to know us is to visit us. Come for a tour and observe an ordinary school day. There is something special about watching children get so absorbed in their work that adults fade away!
Email me at msboi@alsionschool.org to arrange your tour and classroom observation. We would love to welcome you and your family!
