Our program design combines three elements – authentic Montessori curriculum, frequent walking trips around the school, and inclusion of children in the planning of volunteer activities that the school participates in.
Together, the mix of these three elements, make learning more practical and fun for our children while enabling them to develop intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual areas to become balanced individuals.
OUR aim
Our aim is to nurture every child, one child at a time, in achieving his or her highest potential. Our ultimate goal is to provide our children the foundation for their holistic development – the development of intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual areas so that they can become well-rounded individuals.
We strive to achieve this by offering them enriched, intellectually stimulating learning environments surrounded by an abundance of excellence, respect, independence, love, and harmony. We also incorporate informal walks around school that makes learning more practical and fun while providing our children more opportunities to expand their general knowledge and social skills.
OUR VALUES
Our seven core values – Integrity, Equality, Dignity, Respect, Compassion, Love, and Harmony – define our school’s identity, its purpose and reflect our sincere commitment to the Montessori philosophy. We are dedicated to upholding these values in delivering our services to our children, parents, guardians, volunteers, suppliers, and others associated with our school community.
COMMITMENT TO MONTESSORI QUALITY
Three fundamental aspects define the quality of any school – the curriculum, learning environment, and, above all, experienced, caring, and talented staff.
We practice authentic Montessori methodology as established by Dr. Maria Montessori. Our classrooms are organized with intellectually stimulating Montessori activities that encourage children to explore and learn independently. Our AMI-trained senior staff has over 30 years of combined Montessori experience and share our passion for developing our children the Montessori way – Nurturing one child at a time.

ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT FOR HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT

Our Casa classrooms (for age 2.5 to 6 years) are carefully prepared to provide the foundation for holistic development. The full set of Montessori materials cover the five main areas – practical life, sensorial, math, language, and culture, while our program design cater to their social, emotional and spiritual development.
Our Montessori Toddler classroom (for age 1.5 to 3 years) is organized to focus on the development of children’s senses, their muscular systems, and motor skills. Toddler activities are designed to appeal to their natural sense of order and desire for learning. They encourage the children towards independence and exploratory learning that prepares them for the next phase of learning.
