Montessori is our essence
Montessori is an approach to education that encourages children to be constructive and take charge of their learning and development. It promotes selfdiscipline, independence and responsibility through age appropriate academics and practical work.
In the classroom, Montessori materials help guide the children in a self paced learning environment. Mixed age groups enhance positive social interactions, and Montessori trained teachers use learning activities, materials and projects to promote healthy social, emotional and academic development.
Our outdoor space
Our spacious 2600m2 garden, full of plants, trees, a vegetable garden, and a tennis and handball court, gives the children the opportunity to explore and experience nature with plenty of space for physical activity.
Outdoor learning experiences foster independence, raise self-esteem and create a positive attitude towards learning. In our garden, children begin to observe and appreciate life’s little phenomena, learn patience, and develop a sense of trust in nature.
“There is no description, no image in any book that is capable of replacing the sight of real trees, and all of the life to be found around them, in a real forest”.
