About Us
Discover Montessori School is a non-profit Independent school and licensed childcare facility. We follow the educational model and philosophy envisioned by Dr. Maria Montessori, with a deep emphasis on personal and collective responsibility for the Earth and for each other. Within a strong academic framework, we teach the interconnectedness of all subjects, the importance of community, and work toward developing peace through mutual respect and understanding.
Our programs offer experiential, hands-on learning for students ages three to fifteen, over two campuses in Nanaimo and Parksville. We deeply value and foster each child's independence and work together with families to support the unique development of each student at their own pace.
