HS - Virginie Pique Yakoubsohn

I am a French Montessori AMI assistant teacher and I have chosen to homeschool my son using the Montessori philosophy since his childhood. I decided to purchase the NAMC Upper Elementary curriculum to offer my son the variety of topics a child at this stage of development would be interested in.

I find the NAMC manuals to be clear and easy to use. The background information before the activities is a great help for the general understanding of the topic. The activities are from the simplest to more difficult, which respects the Montessori approach of learning. I appreciate the extensions of activities, the very well-chosen pictures, and all the notes for the teachers.

The NAMC manuals are a must have for any Montessori homeschooler. It gives the child the chance to develop through a Montessori path, in harmony, and to understand the whole world and its wonder ... as a citizen of the world my son will become a responsible, social, creative individual.

I am also often inspired by the NAMC blog and their deep understanding of Montessori and the child.
