The 6-12 classroom is currently studying the age of reasoning, abstract thinking, and an imagination.  Students continue their study of "Peoples of the World", learning about the fundamental  needs of Humans. They learn that the fulfillment of these needs varies by not only historical time periods but also by geographic location. With emphasis placed on the family of humankind and the interrelationship of all life, Montessori students begin to realize that they are not separate from the rest of the world, but are an integral part of creating a harmonious world.

Montessori believed education was the most powerful and universal way through which to reconstruct society; a way to transition from war to peace. Therefore, it is necessary to think of education as peace, not education for peace. While the Montessori curriculum teaches about peace, it cannot by itself result in peace. At TMA, we realize that it is not enough to simply talk about peace.  Our classrooms must create an environment that will promote the development of peaceful individuals.
