About the school
| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
At Imagine Montessori School we adhere to the British School curriculum, and our vehicular language is English. We apply the Montessori method at all stages of education, from 20 month old to 18 year old students. Currently, our oldest students are those born in 2008, and we plan to grow organically with them. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
Our project is based on the Montessori Pedagogy principles, a world renowned educational method centred on developing each child’s maximum potential through personalized education which responds to the needs and interests of each stage of development through sensory work, manipulation, movement and the development of determination, freedom and responsibility. |
