Montessori Schools

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.

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.

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.
