Principal’s Welcome

   “We must look to the children as a vehicle for bringing change to humanity.”

Dr. Maria Montessori

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Canberra Montessori.

Canberra Montessori School is an independent school proudly offering an education founded on the Montessori philosophy and Montessori principles for children aged 18 months to year 6. Our program provides a complete and authentic experience, designed to prepare our young people for life beyond the school gates and adulthood.

Our school has its unique identity which inspire those of us who work here to give our very best to every child. Our students experience a warm and nurturing environment every single day when they walk through our doors. Every day in the prepared environment of our Montessori classrooms, our educators strive to realise our shared vision through their child-centred work; encouraging and nurturing students to grow as curious, independent, lifelong learners.

The culture of our classrooms is based on a strong belief in the potential of every student to learn at their own pace, so long as they are treated with respect and given opportunities to discover their passions and acquire skills within a supportive and caring environment. Students are given freedom with responsibility, allowing them to make their own choices but also learn how to take responsibility for these.

Montessori children learn how to learn for themselves from a young age. They are empowered to find their voice and explore their interests under the supportive guidance of the Montessori Director. Our children are uniquely well prepared for what we expect to be an uncertain future.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about Montessori education and our commitment to supporting each of our students to grow into a well-balanced and ethical young person with a passion for excellence in everything they do and the determination to make a difference in the world.

I look forward to meeting you and your child at our Canberra Montessori School.

Yours sincerely,

Halima Khurram
