Montessori

“No human being experiences the same education as another”
Maria Montessori
The Montessori program is offered to students from the ages of 2 and a half to 6. It encourages the development of the child, while respecting the rhythm and personality of each individual and developing autonomy and self-discipline. Specifically designed material, adapted to each child’s needs, is used to develop psychomotor skills.
Our school is a member of the Montessori Association (Switzerland) and complies with the criteria for using the Montessori name in French-speaking Switzerland.
