Environment and Team
Montessori Africa is a multicultural, integrated educational environment that is home to a Pre-School and Junior Preparatory School.
The Curriculum
We offer the Montessori Curriculum, which is an International-based curriculum, which is in line with the CAPS curriculum, and supports the educational goals and curriculum content that is applied to support the development of infants, children and young people from birth to adulthood. Learners are grouped in classes of 3-year age cycles i.e. 0-3 years, 3-6 years, 6-9 years, 9-12 years and 12-15 years. The environment we provide is designed to support the specific aspects of development and allows the children freedom of action to build themselves as an individual and as a social being. Children work at their own pace and the classroom is learner centric. Groups are kept small and the child is encouraged and motivated to work independently whilst having the opportunity to collaborate in small groups. The directress/teacher in the classroom plans each child’s work individually as each child could be at different stages of the curriculum as they work at their own pace, whilst keeping within the framework and guidelines of developmental milestones. The Montessori Curriculum, for each of our age cycles, allows the learner a period of three years to master their development and academic milestones. This structure gives us the benefit of having a much longer period to work with each child and ensure that they are adequately supported to achieve their respective academic goals.
