Casa del Mar Montessori provides a student-centered learning environment where children develop into self-directed learners with the values, intellectual ability and innovation skills that they will need to thrive in their future.

We offer an interdisciplinary curriculum that adheres to the Montessori standards established by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and is designed to fit the specific needs of each child’s stage of development, nurturing their intrinsic desire for learning, and allowing each student to engage in their own learning experience.

We create a supportive learning environment in every classroom, and the whole school, to enable the sense of belonging and emotional safety that allows the child to develop peacefully and naturally.

Montessori methodology is based on a holistic approach to education, it acknowledges the need for the human being to developtheir intellectual, social, emotional, physical, artistic ,creative and spiritual potentials to become a fulfilled and happy human.

Student-centered learning looks for the child’s interests, recognising and emphasizing each child’s unique abilities and learning styles, and following their own pace of learning.

Whole-child education

A holistic approach to education, that acknowledges the need for the human being to develop their intellectual, emotional, social, physical, artistic, creative and spiritual potentials to become a fulfilled and happy human.

Student-centered learning

A student-centered learning looks for the child’s interests, recognizes and emphasizes their unique abilities and follows their own pace of learning. Creativity and innovation are fostered every day by encouraging each child to pursue their innate curiosity and interests.

Active learning

The learning takes place through the child’s own activity. The use of Montessori materials builds a foundation of concrete experiences of abstract concepts, assisting your child to attain a deeper level of understanding.

Mixed-age classes

Children of different ages help one another. Younger children admire the work of older ones and are take an interest in the work they are doing because the difference in their abilities is not as big. For older children, teaching younger ones allows them to consolidate their knowledge as well as practice their leadership skills.

Social and Emotional learning

The ability to recognise and regulate one’s emotions, thoughts and behaviours is a fundamental learning for the human being. As part of the holistic approach to education we integrate practices that will help our children develop self-discipline, empathy, teamwork and ethical responsibility.

Global citizenship and sustainability

Upon a foundation of respect and within a framework of peace education, the Montessori Methodology aims to instil the values, attitudes and behaviours that support responsible global citizenship: creativity, innovation, and commitment to peace, human rights and sustainable development.

“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavour always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.”
