“Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child open up himself to life” - Maria Montessori.

Our Vision

To guide each child, not just in the moment but for life.

Our Mission

To inspire our students to be lifelong independent learners, develop their sense of wonder and promote them as peacemakers and leaders.“Our mission guides our work to create an environment of joy and wonder for students. An environment that introduces children to our wonderful Montessori approach, but also informs and guides our development of the High School program.

‘Our academic programs have continued to expand and thrive, with students demonstrating remarkable progress across all stages. All schools have students with a wide range of abilities and talents - whilst the academic achievements of our students (upon leaving the school) are very good for students, it must always be remembered that our focus remains on developing the whole child as the self-directed, thinking learner, who shows compassion and understanding, who is more likely to achieve their goals and to contribute to make the world a better place.

In contrast, within our High School program, whilst the IB Organisation is separate to Montessori, its values, mission and pedagogical approaches are closely aligned and complementary to the Montessori ethos within the Primary School. To that end, the work in preparing to introduce the IB program has also enriched and complemented our curriculum, as students transition from Primary to High School, such as through providing students with global perspectives and fostering critical thinking skills. Our educators have embraced this addition, ensuring a seamless blend with our Montessori philosophy.’..read more
