A school rooted in the Montessori community
Choosing a Montessori school is not about choosing a name.
It means choosing a rigorous pedagogical framework, certified educators and a genuine commitment to the child.
Why this page exists
The Montessori name is not protected
Any school can use the name Montessori without meeting any specific standard. It is the family's responsibility to verify.
Not all schools follow the same standards
Educator training, materials, classroom layout, mixed-age groupings, these criteria vary widely from one school to another.
There are benchmarks to evaluate a school
Recognised international organisations set quality standards that guarantee a genuine and coherent Montessori approach.
Our quality benchmarks

Quality benchmarks translate into tangible daily benefits.
Genuinely trained educators

International Montessori network
