The school’s philosophy is based on the Montessori method which encourages each child to develop at their own pace. Through observation the teacher follows the child’s lead and helps her to grow and develop to her potential.

The Montessori classroom provides a unique range of materials. Guided by a teacher, the child chooses materials through which she can explore and work at her own pace. In the Montessori environment the child’s creative energy is freed, and she develops independence, self-discipline and a strong sense of self esteem.

The highly social atmosphere of this environment comes from a unique combination of freedom and structure and is founded on respect. A Montessori education fosters the fullest development of child’s potential and provides a foundation for a life of joyful and successful learning.

“Children have to be educated but they also have to be left to educate themselves”
