What is the meaning of Montessori? Children are innately  interested in learning about the world around them and through their  natural curiosity are able to develop themselves. By providing an  environment that supports natural development, Montessori education  enables children to develop the fundamental capacities that they need to  become happy and fulfilled adults who contribute to society.

“Montessori schools promote hands on, self paced,  collaborative, joyful learning. Children in Montessori follow their  interests, wherever that passion leads; giving them strong academics,  leadership, self discipline, responsibility, independence, initiative  and a lifelong love of learning.”

Authentic Montessori environments encompass the following principles:

• Mixed age groups which not only offer a wide range of activities to  spark children’s interest but also enable children to learn from others  and learn by helping others.
• Freedom for children to work at their own pace, without  interruption, choosing from a range of activities that are  developmentally challenging and appropriate.
• Exploration is encouraged so that children find things out for themselves, make mistakes and correct them independently.
• Respect for each child as an individual personality with unique talents.
• Respect for others, the community and the environment.

A Montessori teacher has a deep understanding of child  development and has been thoroughly trained to guide children  towards productive and challenging experiences, both individually and  collectively, that will provide a firm foundation for their future.

Your child will be introduced to all aspects of the Montessori curriculum plus a basic knowledge of English, Arabic, and French (depending on the child’s native language). The staff are committed to pursuing excellence in our school by providing quality teaching and learning experiences as well as adding cultural diversity. We welcome parents and community involvement to assist every child to reach his/her own potential.
