Children engage in a multi-age learning environment across four developmental levels, often guided by the same teacher throughout. This continuity fosters strong relationships and peer mentorship, where older students support younger ones. Learning unfolds through scientifically designed materials that build understanding step by step, encouraging independence, concentration, and a deep love for learning. Our inquiry program, Quest, is offered to the Montessori Junior and Senior Level students.
Structured across two progressive levels, our Kindergarten program emphasises social, emotional, and cognitive development. Children learn through play, art, dance, music, and hands-on activity spaces. The environment nurtures communication, creativity, literacy, numeracy, and confidence, with age-based grouping that supports targeted developmental milestones.
We offer both approaches in our schools because of the varied demand for our programs by parents.

- HOW children learn today has become as important as WHAT they learn. We believe that the main purpose of assessment is to understand where a child is and where she/he needs to go. So, we follow a pattern of assessment where students are exposed to various evaluation formats that test for understanding in multiple ways. These include
- Reviews (Pen-Paper Tests) [once a term]
- Individual Assessments (Ongoing)
- Group Assessments (Ongoing)
- Project-Based Assessments
- Portfolio (Once a term)
- Term End Examination
Grade 1 to 3 have no formal reviews but will have ongoing graded assessments
