The Montessori Story
What if, through the use of scientific observation and a comprehensive understanding of child development, from birth to adulthood, someone discovered an educational methodology so effective that it led to more self-reliant and motivated student with a life-long love of learning.
This happened in Rome in the early 20th century, and continues today through-out the world with an educational pedagogy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
Melbourne Montessori School
Melbourne Montessori School (MMS) is an independent, co-educational community school catering for children from 18 months of age (walking) to 18 years of age. Programs include Parent and Toddler playgroups, an Early Learning Program, a Junior School, and a Senior School. There are two main campuses, one in Caulfield and one in Brighton. We also offer a Long Day Care option from our Alma Road Campus in collaboration with Headland Montessori. Each has age-appropriate outdoor spaces with interesting structures, and classrooms equipped with Montessori materials. These environments are prepared for children and adolescents at each developmental level and allow them to take responsibility for their own education. As a result, our students develop a life-long passion for learning.
Our school has grown from humble beginnings with 14 students in 1974, to a dynamic, two-campus school with over 400 students. During our 47 years we have maintained our commitment to Montessori principles.
