Sydney Montessori School

Sydney Montessori School, nestled in the vibrant inner west suburb of Leichhardt, offers a deeply engaging and nurturing educational experience founded on the renowned Montessori philosophy. This is a place where children from infancy through to primary years (0-12) are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop their unique potential through hands-on learning and individualised guidance.

Highlights of the school include its thoughtfully prepared classrooms, designed to foster independence, concentration, and a lifelong love of learning. Unique to the Montessori method are mixed-age classrooms, allowing younger children to learn from older peers and older children to reinforce their knowledge by teaching. The comprehensive curriculum spans practical life skills, sensorial development, language, mathematics, and cultural studies, all delivered within a respectful, child-centred approach.

Parents seeking a holistic and self-directed educational journey for their children will find an ideal environment here. Mums particularly appreciate the emphasis on fostering intrinsic motivation, critical thinking, and social emotional intelligence, rather than rote learning. It’s perfect for families who value individuality, respect for the child, and a supportive community where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, preparing them not just for school, but for life.
