Montessori Education: A Personalised Learning Journey
The International Montessori School (IMS) is dedicated to providing unique Montessori education in a bilingual environment. Our doors are open, inviting families to join us in Sotogrande for an enriching experience that nurtures curiosity, independence, and lifelong love of learning.
The benefits of Montessori Education
- Individualised Learning: Montessori education recognises that every child learns at their own pace and in their own unique way. Our classrooms are designed to cater to individual needs, allowing each student to progress according to their abilities and interests.
- Hands-On Learning: Through hands-on materials and experiential activities, Montessori students engage all their senses in the learning process. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of concepts and encourages curiosity and exploration.
- Promotion of Independence: Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared environments where children are empowered to make choices and take ownership of their learning. This cultivates self-confidence, autonomy, and a sense of responsibility from an early age.
- Holistic Development: Montessori education emphasises the development of the whole child – academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. By addressing all aspects of a child’s growth, we nurture well-rounded individuals who are prepared to thrive in the world.
The IMS Montessori Journey:
Nido: (5-18 months)
In our nurturing Nido environment, infants and toddlers are provided with a safe and stimulating space to explore, learn, and grow.
Infant Community: (18months-3 years)
The Children’s Community cultivates independence and social skills through hands-on activities and collaborative play, laying the foundation for future learning.
Children’s home 1: (3-6 years)
In the Children’s Home, children engage in self-directed learning, discovering their interests and passions while building essential academic and life skills.
Elementary 1: (6-9 years)
Our Elementary 1 programme offers a dynamic curriculum tailored to each child’s unique abilities, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and a love for learning.
Elementary 2: (9-12 years)
As children transition into Elementary 2, they delve deeper into a broad curriculum, developing strong academic foundations and a sense of responsibility towards themselves and their community.
Beyond the classroom
At IMS, learning extends beyond the traditional classroom setting. Our diverse range of after-school activities, including music, Aikido, Jujitsu, dance, and more, provide students with opportunities to explore their interests and talents outside of academics.
Bilingual environment
Immerse your child in a bilingual environment where language acquisition is seamlessly woven into daily activities and interactions. Our commitment to bilingual education opens doors to global opportunities and fosters cultural appreciation and understanding.
