The Richmond Montessori program is based on observing and supporting the natural development of children. This approach was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over a century ago through her scientific study of how young children learn best. This hands-on program focuses on the whole child, developing each student's sense of self and others through interest and choice.

Students of different ages learn together in the same classroom for three years, allowing younger children to learn from older students while older students build confidence by helping others. Through structured freedom, children work independently, with partners, and in small groups using purposefully designed learning materials.

Our learning environment and materials draw inspiration from the Montessori principles while fulfilling Ministry of Education expectations, fostering inquiring minds and developing lifelong learners prepared to become responsible global citizens.
