A pedagogy that makes sense

Montessori is not just a pedagogy we apply,
it is a way of looking at children and of living in harmony.
Here are the pillars that guide us every day.

Montessori educator with children

Montessori Pedagogy

Autonomy

The child chooses their activities among the lessons passed on by their educators, develops independence and builds their ability to act for themselves within a structured framework.

Confidence

A caring, relational and cooperative environment fosters self-confidence, the desire to learn, education for peace and fulfillment.

Individualized Learning

Each child progresses at their own pace, with personalized support that respects their needs, progress and concentration.

Prepared Environment

Montessori materials, classroom atmosphere, bilingualism and the well-prepared educator (academically, emotionally and psychologically) create an ideal environment that stimulates exploration, the senses and learning.

From 0 to 15 years old

Five learning environments, each carefully designed for a stage of your child's development.

Our learning environments

Micro-Nursery 0 โ€“ 3 years

Micro-Nursery
