Frequently Asked Questions
Choosing a new school for your child can be a difficult process, we are always available to answer any questions that you may have. Also, please read below the questions (and answers) that are often asked.
1. How can I see the school?
The best way to experience our school is in person! We ask all families to book a guided tour with our Director, Cristina Cort, in advance. You’ll get to explore our classrooms and our 2600m² garden to see exactly how our students spend their day.
What makes a Montessori education different from a traditional classroom setting?
In a Montessori school, children aren't told what to do every minute. Instead, they choose activities that interest them. This makes learning feel like "play" rather than a chore. Because every child follows their own pace, it’s a perfect fit for both children who need more time and those who want to move ahead quickly.
What ages do you teach?
We welcome children from ages 3 to 12.
- Children’s House: Ages 3–6.
- Primary: Ages 6–12.
Who will be teaching my child?
Our teachers are called "Guides." They are specially certified Montessori teachers who act more like mentors than traditional lecturers. They observe each child individually to offer the right lesson at the right time. Our team also includes specialists for music and sports.
What is the curriculum like?
We follow an authentic Montessori curriculum that covers everything a traditional school would (Math, Science, Language, History), but in a comprehensive way. We also ensure our students meet European Union and US standards, so they are well-prepared for any future educational path.
What if my child doesn’t speak Spanish?
No problem at all! We are a multilingual school.
- Children ages 3–6 primarily hear English and French, which they pick up naturally through immersion. Spanish is naturally present through daily peer interactions, playground conversations, and during Friday afternoon sports with our Spanish teacher.
- Spanish and Valenciano are introduced into the academic work of Primary school (6-12) with a few hours per week with the Spanish teacher in the classroom.
Is there a school uniform?
No. We want children to be comfortable and ready for anything, from science experiments to gardening. We just ask for practical clothes that your child can easily put on or take off by themselves to help them feel independent.
How do you handle bullying or safety?
Safety is our top priority. We use "Peace Education," which teaches children how to talk through their feelings and solve conflicts respectfully. We have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying and a clear, supportive protocol to ensure every child feels safe and valued.
What are the costs?
Is it hard for international families to enroll?
Not at all! Our process is very straightforward. Because we are a private school, we don't have the same paperwork hurdles as some local schools. All you need to start is your child's passport and their health insurance. We accept new families throughout the year.
