Our Curriculum

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed

Our Montessori curriculum is driven by the interest, needs and curiosity of the child. With its child centred approach, it encourages the child’s sense of agency, critical and creative thinking skills. This enables the children to experience the joy of learning by facilitating their need for independence, order, movement, language and understanding of their world.

The use of the Montessori material is based on the young child’s unique aptitude for learning, which Montessori identified as the absorbent mind. The young child’s mind is like a sponge absorbing everything from the environment. In our classrooms the equipment invites the child to develop at his own periods of interest and readiness. Each child works at his own pace and since the child’s works from his own free choice without competition he fully benefits from it.

The Montessori curriculum enables the children to develop as holistic individuals preparing them for a lifelong love of learning.
