Our mission is to assist in the natural development of each child from birth to maturity. Our approach focuses on the child and the development, by creating a prepared environment in which children can discover the world, whilst simultaneously creating a strong partnership with their parents.
Our purpose is to help each child reach their full potential in all areas of life. We wish to create a school which enables every child to realise their academic, social, moral, spiritual and cultural potencial.
We wish to enable each child to experience the joy of learning for themselves and encourage them to master any potential skills.
We understand education as a means to independence, autonomy, freedom and human solidarity, and we endeavour to prepare our children for any future opportunities, responsibilities and experiences.
As a school, we are guided by the principles of Montessori and the Association Montessori International (AMI).
Montessori School Almeria is an inclusive school where all children are welcomed and provided for, a school that is at the heart of the community.
We respect all cultural, ideological and religious beliefs that promote the values of solidarity, respect, peace and tolerance.
We value the importance of human development and thus, we provide a prepared and natural environment in which children want to learn and go to school.
As a mother I had a desire to give my own children a Montessori Education, an education in a specially prepared environment, in a place which was respectful and stimulating. However, an education like this was difficult to find.
Due to this lack of choice, my first educational project was founded, “La Casita Montessori Almería”. A Montessori Education specifically for children between the ages of 3 and 6 years old.
“La Casita Montessori Almería” was the first Montessori project to open in Almeria in September 2015. This small school was staffed with guides trained by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).
We gained a lot of support from parents for this project. In fact it was so successful, that with a lot of passion and effort, we decided to create a larger project. Thus, in September 2016, in response to parents’ requests to continue their children’s Montessori education into the Primary stage, “Montessori School Almería” opened its doors as a British School.
Montessori School Almeria is a project where education respects children as individuals, in which they can grow at their own pace and be stimulated. A school where craving for knowledge and experimentation is not restricted. It is a place for growth.
Montessori School Almería is a small school, high quality, with limited places, where we can guarantee an individualised education and seek to address the needs of each and every child. We work with an approximate ratio of 20 children to 2 educators. English is the main language.
Montessori School Almería is a private school that offers a British education and follows the Montessori Pedagogy. Our school complies with the British Education System and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum of England.
Montessori School Almeria is one of the few schools in Andalucía which combines the quality of British education with the Montessori pedagogy. Indeed, it is the first British Montessori School located in Almeria capital.
It is a small school with a small ratio of children per classroom and provides an individualised instruction for every child.
Our Educational Team is formed by both UK fully qualified teachers and by staff trained in the Montessori pedagogy (AMI trained).
We believe that a Montessori education is the education of the future. Many of the principles and methods developed by Maria Montessori are prevalent in many schools around the world. We believe that to be a Montessori School is a symbol of educational excellence.
British education is regarded as amongst the highest quality education in the world. Our certification as a British School in Spain is a recognised symbol of quality education.
At Montessori School Almeria, we focus on providing an enriching, educational experience for every child. The individual development of each child is of utmost importance and we have a conviction that children’s skills and values will evolve when the social environment s/he experiences, is optimised for learning.
Our school is an environment which is physically and emotionally safe, respectful and stimulating, allowing each child to explore and actively participate, and fully develop their unique potential.
