Montessori education is a child-centered approach that encourages hands-on learning, independence, and respect for a child’s natural development. It uses specially designed materials and activities to foster curiosity, problem-solving, and life skills in a calm and supportive environment.
Indeed, we are a genuine Montessori school. Our teachers are officially trained in the Montessori method, and we are committed to providing an authentic Montessori environment. This includes using Montessori materials, following child-centered teaching practices, and fostering independence, respect, and a love of learning in every child.
Children as young as 2.5, if they are ready. Most of our students attend from their 3rd birthday, until their 6th birthday. Older children should move on when they are starting Primary 1.
No. Montessori schools embrace a mixed age classroom. This is better for a child’s social development and encourages children to work at their own pace.
