Montessori 6–12 Curriculum Coverage Planner | Editable 3-Year Cycle Google Sheet

Feel more organised and less overwhelmed by the huge Montessori 6–12 curriculum.
This editable curriculum coverage planner helps you map the main curriculum areas across a 3-year cycle.

Perfect for Montessori teachers, homeschoolers, new 6–12 guides, and small school planning.

The Montessori 6–12 curriculum is beautiful, rich, and enormous — but trying to hold it all in your head can feel completely overwhelming.

This Montessori 6–12 Curriculum Coverage Planner is an editable Google Sheet designed to help you see the big picture, organise your year, and plan across the 3-year Montessori elementary cycle without losing your mind.

It is not a scripted curriculum and it is not a list of every lesson you will ever give. Instead, it gives you something many Montessori 6–12 teachers desperately need: a practical planning framework for making sure the main curriculum areas are being covered over time, while still allowing children to develop at their own pace. The current listing notes that the document includes a 3-year cycle, arts coverage, writing and reading concepts, and an example of how to break a year’s topics into portions of the year.

What’s Included

This editable Google Sheet includes:

• A Montessori 6–12 curriculum coverage planner
• A suggested 3-year cycle for the main curriculum areas
• Planning support for organising what to cover each year
• Arts curriculum coverage
• Writing concepts
• Reading concepts
• An example of how to break a year’s topics into smaller portions
• Editable format so you can adapt it to your class, homeschool, school year, or teaching style

Why This Resource Helps

Montessori elementary planning can feel very different from mainstream planning. You are not just ticking off one lesson per day. You are balancing presentations, follow-up work, child interest, repetition, key lessons, cosmic education, literacy, maths, culture, science, geography, history, and the reality that children do not all move at the same pace.

That is where this planner is useful.

It helps you step back and ask:

• What are we covering this year?
• What needs to wait until next year?
• Are the main areas being revisited across the cycle?
• Where do reading, writing, and the arts fit?
• How can I plan without overplanning every child’s path?

Instead of feeling like you are constantly behind, you can see the wider structure and make calmer, more intentional planning decisions.

Perfect For

This resource is ideal for:

• Montessori 6–12 teachers
• New elementary guides
• Homeschool parents using Montessori principles
• Small Montessori schools
• Teachers moving from 3–6 into 6–12
• Planning meetings
• Yearly curriculum mapping
• 3-year cycle organisation
• Teachers who want structure without a rigid scripted programme

Please Note

This is an editable Google Sheet. You will need to be comfortable opening and using Google Sheets.

This is not a full scope and sequence, not a complete curriculum, and not a lesson album. It does not teach you how to present each topic. It is a planning and curriculum coverage tool to help you organise the big picture of Montessori 6–12 coverage.

Created by Montessori Kiwi

I’m a Montessori-trained and state-trained teacher in New Zealand, and I know how overwhelming Montessori 6–12 planning can feel in real life.

I created this to help teachers and homeschoolers reduce mental load, see the bigger picture, and plan the elementary years with more confidence, flexibility, and calm.

This is not a scope and sequence or a list of every lesson. It does not include how to teach each topic.

Please note this is a google sheet. You will need to be familiar with google to use this sheet.
