WHY MONTESSORI

The Montessori approach is the essence of our school

This, for us, means much more than simply changing some aspects of the conventional model of education.

It is a completely different way of learning and teaching, designed to prepare children for success in a global world.

Maria Montessori

Our approach to education is based on the findings of Dr. Maria Montessori´s research.

She was the second female physician in Italy, and she applied her degrees of Anthropology and Biology to the study of children at the first Montessori school founded in Rome in 1907.

This pedagogical model is based on a deep respect towards children, their rhythms, needs and interests. We always work towards the independence of children, so that they achieve higher levels of autonomy according to their stage of development.

She believed that the goal of the education process was to cultivate a child’s natural desire to learn.

Through experimentation and careful observation, Dr. Montessori discovered in the children the following Universal Human Tendencies. We base our educational approach on satisfying these needs:

PEACE EDUCATION

At the heart of our philosophy

Montessori considered that allowing the development of all potentialities from childhood is the starting point to achieve global peace, since relationships between satisfied, autonomous, empathetic, self-confident and cooperative people rarely erupt in violent situations.

By observing children, we observe human nature in its purest form

Maria Montessori believed that all beings and elements of the Universe fulfill a function and that they are interrelated.

We all have a mission, the potential to fulfill it, and a place in the World.

Unleashing their full potential

If the development of the child is impeded or hindered, the fulfillment of their role as an adult is limited and they are separated from their own human nature.

A childhood that has been limited in its developmental needs, hinders having a consistent state of satisfaction later on in life.

Mindful adults

To avoid the transfer of cultural variables that could be counterproductive, we must also observe ourselves as adults, be present and aware.

The main challenge the Montessori teacher faces, and the most important one, is to break with her cultural legacy and work from love and with a scientific spirit.

How we feel about ourselves has to do with how we relate to others​​

Montessori pedagogy builds a society by cohesion that is cooperative instead of competitive, based on the philosophy of Education for Peace.

Being the change​​

The way in which children are brought up is a reflection of how political decisions are made and the way in which relationships with other cultures and countries are established.

BILINGUALISM

Our curriculum is largely based on the AMI Montessori curriculum and we adhere to Spanish Educational Ministry requirements of following both the Spanish Language and Spanish Culture curricula at Elementary school level.

Our goal is that children can work in both English and Spanish educational systems.

Montessori School Granada

Accreditted by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools​​

The school is in a continuous accreditation cycle with the MSA-CESS (Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools), which ensures a high quality educational experience, through adherence to their Accreditation Standards. Instruction is primarilly in English.

The Middle States Association ensures quality standards in the school for an easy transition to International Schools worldwide.
