Our School
Here at Pretoria Montessori we strive for the full growth and happiness of the child. We want the child to be at their physical and emotional best when learning.
At Pretoria Montessori children have the opportunity to express themselves in different ways through things such as stories, music and art etc. Using their imaginations and a range of materials they have daily chances to be creative and to develop their preferred and unique skills and talents such as drawing, painting, writing, public speaking etc.
Our curriculum features zoology, botany, English, mathematics, geology and Afrikaans along with the standard Montessori curriculum. Additionally, we offer French too. We also have extra mural activities such as soccer classes, ballet classes and swimming lessons.
Our open-door policy allows parents to communicate with ease and transparency. A system is in place to ensure parents are supported. Channels of communication include settling-in sessions, pre-arranged meetings and standard parents meetings.
At Pretoria Montessori, children encounter the world and explore new ideas in an immersive environment. At Pretoria Montessori, we help your child reach their full potential.
About Us
Montessori is an educational system that uses specific methods to educate. These methods are practical, they use materials that have been adapted to cater for the need of the child and his/her young growing mind.
Montessori encourages independence and personal growth. This means that in a Montessori environment the child will be able to think for themselves, choose what they would want to learn and grow at a pace that is suitable for them.
In a Montessori environment children would naturally experience a feeling of wanting to learn and progress, and they will do so with a true passion coming from the choice within them.
Montessori does not simply educate the child from an academic perspective. Everything about a Montessori environment is meant to prepare the child for its next stage in a healthy and correct way, fulfilling all the necessary sensitive areas that must be fulfilled. For instance, a child in a Montessori environment who experiences a natural passion for learning will then progress with that as he/she ages and will continue to learn of his/her own volition and not due to outside forces or pressure.
Montessori produce, not just intelligent, smart students at their potential, but healthy and well developed humans ready for life.
Curriculum
Our mission
To provide a healthy and productive environment that will help work towards the independence of the child and ultimately, the happiness of the child, which will give him/her the freedom to consciously choose. From this choice, he/she will then work in a way that expresses passion, love and joy for what he/she is doing. It brings a true desire to work and this brings them to strive for excellence.
Our Motto
An independent child is a happy child.
Our goal
To have each and every child to realise their full potential in every aspect we can possibly help them with. Is for the child to become independent and choose what he/she will do with their realised capabilities. Ultimately, this will lead to the student experiencing passion in what he/she is doing and happiness stemming from their choices.
