Welcome to Discover Montessori School
Nurturing caring, competent, compassionate learners & engaged global citizens.
What is Montessori?
Montessori is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori. It is based on her extensive research on early learning and human development. Focussed on self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaboration, this technique involves mixed-age classrooms that give students a choice of educational activities, rather than everybody learning the same lesson at once. Every material in a Montessori classroom supports an aspect of child development, matching the child's natural interests and the Montesssori activities. An unique curriculum is created for each child based on their interests and learning style, and the results are nothing short of amazing!

*We are taking names for grade 7 entry for 2022-23. No previous Montessori is required,
just a desire to challenge yourself, to work hard academically, to be kind, and to have fun
as a respected member of our Middle School Adolescent Community.
We encourage families to get onto the waitlist early as spaces are limited.
