Silverwood's Senior Program is comprised of students in grades five and six who, in our Montessori-inspired tradition, are encouraged to work to their full potential, often in experiential settings, collaborate with students in other grades, be adventurous in their studies, and apply their learning to in-depth projects, both independently and in small groups.  The students are expected to exhibit a generosity of spirit and work within a code of values they have summarized as "Respect each other and the environment." 
The Senior faculty integrates the curriculum so students make connections among all subjects.  
Lead teacher, Cameron Peters teaching Science, Mathematics and PE , takes advantage of the school's science "labs"--two greenhouses, a pond, a stream, and acres of woods.

Sue Cadden, comes to us with ten years of Montessori experience. Sue teaches Literacy, Social Studies and Character Development & Citizenship.

Ann Vogel adds depth to the students' literacy work through study skills and Junior Journalism,  where students study the media and create their own school newspaper. 

Helen Kirkham is the school's artist who encourages hands-on inquiry with clay, paints, and other media in the Grotto.  She also teaches Geography and Computer Literacy and Graphics where students use technology as a tool to further their learning.  

Yvonne Rivera, a native Spanish speaker, provides continuity for students who take foreign language and cultural studies during all six grades at Silverwood.
