The Environments
Three settings adapted to each stage of development
In Montessori, each age group has its own "environment" - a carefully prepared setting built around the developmental needs of that stage.
Children's Community
"Help me to be myself"
The Children's Community holds up to 15 children with 3 adults. The children move freely in a space sized to them. The materials are concrete and tied to the real world: motor activities, language, self-care, sensory discovery. These years are foundational for building identity and independence.
Children's House
"Help me to do it myself"
At this age, the capacity for sustained concentration really blossoms. The child moves from concrete to abstract by working with Montessori materials. The Children's House covers the five great Montessori domains: practical life, sensorial, language and reading, mathematics, and culture (geography, botany, zoology, music, arts). The outdoor space - rich in biodiversity - is part of daily life, not an afterthought.
Elementary
"Teach me to think for myself and to discover the world"
Elementary children grow their social and moral sense, take on group projects, and start to reason in the abstract. The programme is organised around the five Great Lessons: the story of the universe, of life, of human beings, of writing, and of numbers. These founding stories give the child a coherent picture of the world to think within.
