Our curriculum
The Montessori Approach
Montessori Program
The Montessori approach to education is child-centered.
The teacher is more of a guide and a facilitator, respecting the concentration and varied learning approaches of the child.
Each child learns at their own pace, the program is individualized and each child’s needs are carefully addressed.
Curriculum Learning Areas
The Montessori curriculum encompasses five key learning areas
