New courses for the 2023-24 school year at Montessori British School Murcia

Montessori British, the school in Murcia with virtual, day and boarding school options, recently announced the launch of its kindergarten program, as well as the new BTEC in Art and Design, an Especialist in Robotics, and the Level 2 in Esports. Some A-Levels have been added for next year as well (French and Law) adding to its well-established range of Montessori programs for children from 3 to 18 years old.

The new kindergarten program is aimed at children aged three to five and will be offered in an environment that caters to the unique developmental needs of young children. It is the only one of the above mentioned that is delivered 100% in-person, while the rest offer flexibility on virtual/campus time according to family and students’ needs.

The Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy over a century ago, is based on the idea that children are naturally curious and self-motivated learners who thrive in an environment that fosters independence, exploration, and experiential learning. The Montessori approach emphasises a holistic approach to education that integrates cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, promoting lifelong learning and well-being.

Montessori British’s kindergarten program includes a range of activities, materials, and lessons that are designed to meet the specific needs and interests of this age group. The curriculum focuses on a child’s physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development, offering opportunities for creativity, imagination, and problem-solving.

One of the key features of the Montessori British programs is the multi-age classrooms that allow for a diverse and inclusive learning environment where younger children can learn from older children and older children can take on leadership roles. The teachers, trained in the Montessori methodology, serve as guides, mentors, and facilitators, rather than lecturers or disciplinarians, helping children learn through their own experiences and interests.

Montessori British also emphasises practical life skills, such as cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene and gardening, which are essential for a child’s independence, self-care, and sense of responsibility. The materials used in the program allow for hands-on, sensory-based learning that supports cognitive development, motor skills, and language acquisition.

Overall, the launch of the Montessori British kindergarten program is a significant step towards expanding the reach and impact of Montessori education in Murcia. By offering a high-quality, child-centered, and holistic approach to education, the program provides a solid foundation for children’s future learning and well-being.

The Montessori British School in Murcia offers the highest quality education for your children based on the UK curriculum, combined with the world-famous and highly sought-after Montessori methodology of teaching.

What is Montessori?

The Montessori method departs from traditional teaching practices by placing the child’s interests, capacity to choose and natural abilities at the heart of the learning environment, rather than focusing on fitting all students into rigid, one-size-fits-all boxes.

It is so popular with parents because it recognises their children as individuals and nurtures their natural curiosity in a collaborative way.

“CHARACTER CANNOT BE TAUGHT, AS IT COMES FROM EXPERIENCE, NOT FROM EXPLANATION.”

– Maria Montessori
