About
Located in the heart of South Sound, Montessori del Sol provides an authentic Montessori programme offering a holistic and wholesome approach to learning. A small and nurturing school environment is a place where children thrive and are actively engaged in a happy, purposeful community.
Subjects include Literacy, Maths, social-emotional, sensory learning, yoga/mindfulness, art, science, geography, food preparation and other practical life activities. With Spanish enrichment amidst all age groups and a dedicated, highly trained and experienced team, the school is committed to the principles of Montessori, making sure that every child’s potential is nurtured while cultivating kindness, independence and creativity.
The unique outdoor environment boasts an abundance of shade trees where the children freely explore and play, while bright, spacious, well-prepared classrooms are equipped with a full complement of materials according to the standards set out by Association Montessori Internationale (A.M.I). Camps are offered throughout the summer and typically during the other school holidays.
