Welcome to the website of
Canberra Montessori School.

More than a method of education, the Montessori philosophy is an attitude and approach to the child and to life. At Canberra Montessori School we provide a rich environment where children are nurtured and great care is taken in the preparation of classrooms to meet individual needs. We provide programmes for children from 18 months to 12 years to learn and develop with the guidance of Montessori trained teachers. During their time at the school children develop self-confidence, independence, responsibility, tolerance, concentration and a joy of learning. These, together with various academic skills provide a firm foundation for their future learning.

We are justifiably proud of our beautiful, environmentally sustainable and architect designed school buildings and developing “Learnscape”. The school board, staff and parent community are supportive and welcoming and the school has a history of good governance and strong administrative leadership.

I encourage you to browse through this website and to make an appointment to visit us in the near future. We welcome observations in all classrooms and we have regular parent information evenings throughout the year.

Our school is proud of the integrity of its Montessori principles and values that lie at the heart of all that we do.

Come and join our community.
