For a Lifelong Love of Learning

Why Montessori?

By inspiring the joyful discovery of self and a passion for learning and independent thinking, we empower children to be knowledgeable and responsible citizens who contribute to their community and make an impact in the world.

A Parent's Perspective

What is Montessori?

individual learning journey for each child

Hands-on experiential learning

The Montessori Method is a 150 year old, tried and tested approach to education, applied in a multitude of schools around the globe. 


It places the child at the center of their own learning journey and stands out from traditional methods of education in many ways:

Hands-on experiential learning

Scientifically designed Montessori materials are self-correcting and self-motivating, and move from the concrete to abstract. Rather than memorizing and computing, children learn and understand through their own investigation and experience.

The child is free to learn at their own pace, in their own learning style, advancing when they are ready to – all under the teacher’s guidance following their individual lesson plan. 

Educates the whole child

The Montessori curriculum is broad. It covers the usual academic fields in language & literacy, arithmetic, geometry, geography, science, etc. It also covers practical life skills, art, music and culture, grace and courtesy. Montessori is seeks to support the child to reach their full potential intellectually, socially and emotionally.

Children enjoy freedom within limits- they may choose their work within the frame of the classroom materials set by the teacher. Following their interests, they are enthusiastic learners and the teacher’s role is as observer and guide, supporting the student in pursuing the answers to their own questions.

Nurturing community

Mixed-aged classrooms (3 – 6 years, 6 – 9 years etc.) allow younger children to observe and learn from older kids. In turn, the older children teach and mentor, reinforcing their own knowledge and developing leadership. These interactions encourage social skills and collaboration over competition.
