The Gift of Montessori
The Montessori method, pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907, is a revolutionary approach to early childhood education based on the belief that children are naturally eager for knowledge and capable of self-directed learning.
At its core, the philosophy fosters independence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning by placing the child at the centre of the educational process.

Educational philosophy
Our Difference
The Montessori curriculum provides a strong foundation in core academic areas such as mathematics, language and science, while also prioritising essential practical life skills that nurture independence and confidence. Studies show that Montessori students often outperform their peers in both academic abilities and creativity, preparing them well for conventional education and modern life.
