Project description

“Montessori and Friends” operates several institutions in and around Berlin. The International Montessori School offers a bilingual concept (Englisch – German) and it’s team consists of international employees. Currently 60 children from 5 to 12 years are enrolled in the school. The children can be supervised and taken care of from 7.30 am to 6 pm. The pedagogical concept is based on the principle of progressive education created by Maria Montessori as well as the latest pedagogical insights. Children and teachers have a close relationship characterized by trust, shared experiences, and intensive communication. Students develop learning strategies and take responsibility for themselves and others. They discover their need to learn actively. The school is closely located to the Montessori Kinderhaus am Wannsee, operated by the same organization. Due to its location, a lot of time and focus is spent on the surrounding nature and environment.
