Montessori Schools

The Montessori method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s, emphasizing child-led learning, mixed-age classrooms, and hands-on exploration with specially designed materials. Montessori education spans from infancy through adolescence, with programmes for Infant/Toddler (0-3), Primary/Children's House (3-6), Elementary (6-12), and Adolescent (12-18) levels. The approach fosters independence, intrinsic motivation, and a love of learning by allowing children to progress at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment guided by trained Montessori educators.

FAQ: Montessori

What is the Montessori method of education?

Montessori is a child-centered educational approach where students learn through self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning while trained teachers guide them through age-appropriate activities using specialized materials.

What age groups does Montessori education cover?

Montessori programmes span from birth to 18 years, organized into developmental planes: Infant/Toddler (0-3), Primary (3-6), Lower Elementary (6-9), Upper Elementary (9-12), and Adolescent (12-18). Most Montessori international schools focus on the 3-12 age range.

How do Montessori students transition to traditional schools?

Montessori students typically transition well to traditional settings due to strong self-management, problem-solving skills, and intrinsic motivation developed through the programme. Many families choose Montessori for early years and primary, then transition to IB, British, or American curricula for secondary education.
