Montessori Hossegor

The school is dedicated to the pedagogical principles and vision of peace of Dr. Maria Montessori, aiming to cultivate independence, curiosity, responsibility, and a lifelong love of learning. It emphasizes natural language acquisition through an English immersion environment, believing that bilingualism fosters global citizenship and cultural understanding. The educational approach utilizes a scientifically prepared environment designed to unlock each child's individual potential.

The school offers two main academic stages: the Children's House (Maison des enfants) for ages 2.8 to 6, and the Elementary program for ages 6 to 12. The Children's House provides part-time and full-time options five days a week, focusing on effortless English language absorption. The Elementary curriculum is built on Montessori's "Cosmic Education" while simultaneously meeting the academic benchmarks set by the National Education of France, ensuring students learn to read, write, and speak fluently in both French and English.

Admissions require a pre-registration fee of €50, a registration fee of €300, and a supplies fee of €500, which covers organic fruit and vegetable snacks. Tuition is structured into Support and Standard tiers based on whether the annual family income is below or above €15,000, with full-time Children's House fees ranging from €5,790 to €6,420 annually. Early enrollment is highly recommended for language acquisition; students entering after age three or five typically require prior Montessori experience, strong family support, or existing English proficiency.

The school campus is situated at 189 Avenue de Pédebert in Soorts-Hossegor, within the Landes department of France. The location provides students with access to a nature-rich environment close to both the ocean and the forest, supporting outdoor experiences and well-being.
