We recognize parents as the first teachers in life. Therefore, the families who have chosen this school are committed to educating their children. Our goal is to collaborate with them to provide the best possible educational experience for their children. On this page, you will find information about Montessori resources for parents of GIMS community.
We encourage parents to play an active role in their children’s education. As a result, we invite them to observe in the classroom, participate in family workshops and activities, help organize field trips or school events, and connect with other parents, creating a network that links the classroom with the community and, in turn, with the world.
All of the adults at GIMS form part of an Adult Learning Community, and we invite all parents to participate in frequent sessions to learn more about pedagogy and Montessori resources for parents.
Moreover, we have GIMS support groups to help the school organizing celebrations, helping to improve the facilities and maintain the vegetable garden, as well as creating events for raising funds.
“The way in which children are brought up in a culture is a reflection of how political decisions are made, and the way in which we establish relationships with other cultures and countries. Montessori’s philosophy has a large sociocultural and political impact, since it suggests that by dignifying childhood on a large scale, we can purify and reset our own culture.”
Rafael Román – Founder of GIMS
We love working closely together with parents, hand in hand to ensure home and school are aligned with shared goals.
Their feedback is our guide, and also the best reward they can give us!

GIMS was a really beautiful environment for our children to land when we lived in Granada for 2 years. We were hoping for a very quality and personalized education that also provided a warm community where our children could feel safe and connected. We felt so lucky that GIMS really met all of our hopes. The teachers truly care about both the well being and the educational journey of the children. I highly recommend this school and their teachers. clara vazquez2023-12-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “Equipo profesional incomparable trabajando junto a los padres por y para hacer de los niños y niñas sus mejores versiones.” Este era mi comentario hace un año y después de 6 años ya en esta Institución con mis dos hijos, con pandemia, cuarentena y situaciones límites como las de estos últimos meses; nos sentimos más que nunca agradecidos a todos los profesionales, dirección y familias del cole por su esfuerzo y labor. Ojalá podamos continuar con ellos en Secundaria! Hernani Affonso2023-12-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Venimos de vivir en Alemania y tener a nuestros hijos en otro colegio Montessori de allí durante 7 años. El Montessori de Granada no deja nada a desear, expectativas más que cumplidas en relación a la calidad del aprendizaje y trato a los alumnos.

My two boys have been going to GIMS for the past two years and I'm very excited for my daughter to join them next year! Instead of giving a review of the school I will quote my son who has said many different times, "mama, thank you for bringing us to this school". It's such a blessing to hear that as a mother and I'm so grateful to the entire GIMS team for making school a safe haven for my kids <3 Alison Moody2023-12-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been in Granada for 4 months and couldn’t be happier with our decision to enroll our daughter (age 4) at GIMS. It is a bilingual school for ages 3-12 that 100% embodies the Montessori philosophy. It made the transition from the United States so much easier knowing that she loves going to school, and we especially appreciate that the teachers are incredibly responsive to our daughter. It’s obvious that they are paying close attention to her and that they truly care about her development. We also love the patio where the kids can play and create. Not to mention, the organic garden from which they source many of the ingredients for the children’s lunches is quite impressive. Speaking of food…. Our daughter started out this year as a picky eater, and we worried that she wouldn’t eat any of the very healthy lunches that GIMS serves. I don’t know how they did it, but now our daughter often loves the lunches at GIMS, and we’ve seen her palate expand at home, too. Finally, we have to praise the other parents at GIMS. Being new to Granada, we weren’t sure what sort of community we’d be able to find, but the other parents at GIMS have gone above and beyond to welcome us. From day one, they have been invaluable for everything from playdates and social outings to which hospital to visit when that inevitable winter cold wreaks havoc. We are confident in saying that our daughter will likely never attend a better school. And all the Spanish she is learning is an added bonus!
