This course offers an overview of the Montessori Cosmic program and the five Cosmic themes—the universe, life, humanity, communications, and math—and answers the fundamental questions: what does cosmic mean? What does the cosmic curriculum encompass? What are its elements? In defining the five Cosmic themes, the course explores how they develop from seeds planted in Early Childhood into the Great Lessons of Elementary and extensions in Secondary that naturally teach practical life skills, characteristics of gratitude and appreciation, and values such as honesty, fairness, and cooperation.
