Montessori Academy of London


There is nothing quite like watching a child’s eyes light up as they have an ah-ha moment. At Montessori Academy of London, we’ve had more than 50 years of witnessing that joy of learning. 

 

The “prepared environment” of a Montessori classroom is orderly, and mindfully curated to encourage exploration, concentration, and learning. Instead of row upon row of desks, you’ll see mats, clustered tables, and Montessori’s beautiful wooden materials neatly presented on low shelves. The children move about freely, interact with their peers, and learn at their own pace. Authentic Montessori also places children of different ages (ie. 3-6 years of age) together in one classroom. These multi-year age groupings allow younger students to learn from older ones, and provide ample time for the teachers to truly get to know the children. 

We are the only accredited Montessori program in London. Every five years our programs are reviewed by the Canadian Council of Montessori Administrators (CCMA). This thorough review of our program ensures that a school is staying true to Dr. Montessori’s original pedagogy.

Montessori is a child-centred educational approach that resonates with young families. We’ve seen a dramatic increase in interest in our programs, especially our Casa program for 3 to 6 year olds. In fact, we’re already taking applications for September 2023 for that age group! We encourage families to inquire at least a year before their children are ready to start school. Because our programs start at age 18 months, parents may want to consider education for their toddlers.

Age groupings in a Montessori program:

  • Toddler: 18 months to 3 years 
  • Casa: 3 to 6 
  • Lower Elementary: 6 to 9
  • Upper Elementary: 9 to 12
  • Junior High: 12 to 14

 

If you’re interested in traditional, accredited Montessori education that inspires a love of learning and prepares your child for life in the 21st century, we invite you to join us for a tour of our school.
