Our Teachers
At our Montessori school, every classroom is led by an AMI or AMS-trained guide who is dedicated to delivering an authentic Montessori education. To further support each child’s development, our classrooms also have dedicated assistants who work alongside the guide to ensure a well-rounded and enriched learning experience. Our teacher-to-student ratios meet ECECD requirements, allowing for individualized attention and care. This structure creates a nurturing and dynamic environment where children can explore, learn, and thrive with the guidance and support of a committed educational team.
Philosophy
Our school’s philosophy is centered on nurturing the whole child, fostering independence, a passion for learning, and an awareness of global citizenship. Our curriculum is designed to meet the individual needs of each child, allowing them to explore and learn at their own pace. Through hands-on activities and self-directed learning, children develop critical thinking skills, creativity, and a deep sense of responsibility. Montessori values guide every aspect of our curriculum, encouraging children to become confident, independent learners with a lifelong love for discovery. Additionally, our program emphasizes respect for others and the environment, helping children to grow into compassionate, informed global citizens who are aware of their role in the world around them.
Location
The Escuela del Sol campus is a beautiful urban oasis located in the heart of downtown, offering the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. Our green campus is a vibrant space where children thrive, surrounded by lush gardens, a thriving farm, and a fruitful orchard. These natural elements, along with our hands-on gardening program, instill a deep appreciation for the environment and provide unique learning experiences. Additionally, our collaboration with the Harwood Art Center enriches our curriculum with dynamic arts and music programs, fostering creativity and joy in every child. At Escuela del Sol, our campus is more than just a school—it’s a nurturing environment where children feel happy, engaged, and inspired to learn.
