Montessori Programme
“With regard to the child, education should correspond to these [developmental] stages, so that instead of dividing the schools into nursery, primary, secondary and university, we should divide education in planes and each of these should correspond to the phase the developing individuality is going through.”Maria Montessori Citizen of The World, p.33.
Honouring Dr. Montessori’s vision of classrooms corresponding to the four planes of development, the Maria Montessori School implements mixed-age classes. Mixed-age classes 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.
The school is composed of four Children’s Houses (3 to 6 years), four Elementary classes (6 to 12 years), and an Adolescent Programme (12 to 16 years).
