Education for Life
Located on a three-acre parcel in Gordon Head neighbourhood of Victoria, Maria Montessori Academy is a welcoming preschool to Grade 12 with 350 students and staff. We seek to enable our students to engage with the world thoughtfully, creatively and with a global sense of purpose.
Montessori fosters creativity, confidence and a sense of belonging. A well-rounded Montessori education seeks to educate the whole child. It affects how they interact with others, teaches self-care, grace, and courtesy, and teaches them how to participate actively in their learning. As Maria Montessori remarked: “The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
Qualified Teachers & Dedicated Staff
All our Montessori teachers are qualified with a Teaching Licence from the Independent School Board and have completed Montessori Training for the appropriate level. Our low student teacher ratio encourages children to reach their full potential while giving teachers the flexibility to personalize learning.
