Support Montessori Education Today for a Better Tomorrow

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 lead to more self-reliant and motivated student with a life-long love of learning. It happened in Rome in the early 20th century and it's happening through-out the world today. Montessori education fosters self-directed learning and has produced innovative leaders including the founders of Google, Wikipedia and Amazon.

Melbourne Montessori School

Melbourne Montessori School is proud to be one of the 22,000 schools worldwide offering educational excellence through the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. We have grown from humble beginnings with 14 students in 1974, to a dynamic, two-campus (Brighton and Caulfield) school serving 350 students. Throughout this growth we have maintained our commitment to Montessori principles. For a greater understanding of these principles and for a look inside our school, please visit Youtube.

Support Montessori Education

Your gift to the Melbourne Montessori School Foundation will help support the full spectrum of Montessori education. In following with Dr. Montessori's dictum that, "Growth is not merely a harmonious increase in size, but a transformation," we are developing our newly acquired Brighton Campus into a Pre-primary and Primary Montessori School for 350 children. Our existing Caulfield Campus will then house Victoria's first Senior Montessori School for 150 students. Thus, through your gift, we will provide students with continuity and educational excellences through the pre-primary, primary and senior level.
