In Montessori, children are grouped in classrooms with children within a three-year age band. While officially children are in a specific grade, such as Grade 2, we do not emphasize a child's grade level within the Montessori classroom environment. Instead, when we call students to work in a group, we call each child individually by name. This chart may be used as a reference to determine in which grade a child attending IMSOL will be officially placed.
Grade 6 at IMSOL is the equivalent of 6th grade in the Latvian system as defined by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science.
