Montessori Education through its educational curriculum focuses on enriching the life and development of the whole child. Our aim is to provide an educational environment that develops in each child the self-confidence and inner security to learn independently, to build a habit of concentration, initiative and persistence, and to foster the child's curiosity, sense of order and love of learning.


The school engages the fundamental principles of Dr Maria Montessori's philosophy and method of education. These include:

 

    • Nurturing a love of learning;
    • Promoting independent work habits, use of initiative, self-motivation and concentration;
    • Helping each child to develop self-respect, consideration for others, cooperation, sociability
    • and respect for their environment; and
    • Encouraging individuality by providing freedom for each child to follow their own special
    • interests.

     

    The teaching methods and curricula are based firmly on the methods, insights, materials and discoveries of Dr. Maria Montessori. Lessons and materials presented cater to cognitive and language development,  sensory motor skills and socialisation, at each stage of a child's development.

     

    The educational approach differs significantly from traditional methods and above all stresses the individuality of the child. Special attention is placed on developing the child's sense of the self through age appropriate activities. These activities are designed to stimulate and challenge the child at each stage of development.
