Their performance is checked on a regular basis and evaluation sheets issued from time to time, finally at the term end after which a progress report is issued. The syllabus is fixed and is so designed to progress with the pace of the child.

Children gain valuable leadership skills, responsibility and self-confidence through working with their friends. It is a beautiful and natural method of learning.
Your child will learn in a safe, clean and peaceful environment. Natural lighting, eye level shelving, beautiful wooden materials, student artwork, and many tactile, real life objects are enjoyed in all areas of our bright, home-like, non-traditional classrooms. Outdoor classroom space is available to further inspire your child’s learning in a natural setting on the school premises.
Lessons are based upon the teacher observing each child’s aptitude, interests and needs. Your child will be challenged based on their ability and development, not on a generic standard. The classroom is designed to encourage independence in your child through choice of activities.
The scientifically designed Montessori material encompasses a broad range of lessons in five areas of learning; practical life, culture, sensorial, arithmetic and language. Mastering a lesson is accomplished through hands-on use of materials, exploration and repetition; all under the guidance of our trained Montessori Teachers.
Grace and courtesy activities are introduced at a young age, and help your child understand accountability and respect for others and their environment. Your child is encouraged to become their best self through learning how to solve conflicts, be kind to their friends and act politely in social situations.
The students are encouraged to ‘think outside of the box’, and question the why’s and how’s, instead of relying on rote memorization. Beyond exceptional academics, your child will enjoy music class, physical activity, drama, visual arts, and still have ample time to explore, run and play outdoors.
