Perth Montessori
Welcome
Perth Montessori is a boutique, independent, co-educational, inner-city school that was established in Burswood over 40 years ago. It has a long and proud history of offering high-quality Montessori education to children from birth to 18 years.
“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.”
- Dr. Maria Montessori -
Our Purpose
At Perth Montessori our core purpose is to empower children in an environment based on the values of resilience and respect.
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.
Learning and Teaching
Perth Montessori is different to a traditional context of learning and teaching, as we place each individual student at the centre of his/her educational journey.
Starting from infancy in playgroup going all the way through to high school. Full-time schooling starts in earnest at 3 years of age but only when each child has demonstrated their readiness.
Fully aligned with the West Australian Curriculum, our goal is to enable all our students to become confident independent thinkers entirely capable of dealing with their rapidly changing world.
Students are encouraged to become independent learners, problem solvers, and critical thinkers who can take initiative and responsibly make their own decisions in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
Mixed-aged classroom grouping
Mixed-age grouping in the classroom allows some wonderful social and educational situations to arise.
Younger children are a constant witness to the skills and activities of older peers and older students have the opportunity to share their experiences with the less-skilled, learning themselves as they teach their peers.
The social setting is designed to limit competitiveness in that, even though children are working and achieving at their own levels, no one child is singled out or made an example. The children are invited to share with and help one another, teaching and redefining through the process.
Montessori Playgroup - 0 to 3 Years
Experience the joys of Montessori learning with your child!
Our Playgroup on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the school term, has been specifically designed to cater for children from birth to 3 years of age. It is a specialist program offering a high-quality Montessori experience to small groups in a warm and nurturing environment.
Our early childhood professionals are trained to respond to the diverse needs of our youngest students and to guide and support their individual learning profile. Our goal is to empower parents to feel confident in sharing their journey as a parent, and self-assured in the learning experiences of their child.
Enrolments during the School Year
Due to our personalised approach to each of our student's education, we are able to accept enrolments throughout the school year and at any age level if space is available.
