Escuela Internacional Montessori Ronda y Serrania

Operating under the motto "Accompanying from the heart," the school is an education cooperative founded on values of democracy, equality, solidarity, and equity. It follows the Montessori pedagogy, aiming to create a plural community where love and the excitement of discovery are central. The school promotes a culture of peace, ecological awareness, and respect for individual development rhythms.

The school offers an educational programme for children aged 3 to 12, organized into mixed-age stages: the Infant stage (Casa de Niños, 3–6 years) and the Primary stage (Taller I, 6–9 years; Taller II, 9–12 years). The curriculum is based on scientific pedagogy and observation, allowing students to work independently at their own pace while exploring social, emotional, and intellectual aspects of learning.

The school aims to foster the development of autonomous, creative, and socially conscious individuals. Students are encouraged to develop ecological awareness, human solidarity, and a sense of responsibility toward themselves, others, and the environment. The educational approach seeks to prepare children for community life, emphasizing dignity, cooperation, and the pursuit of the common good.

The school provides personalized education by respecting individual rhythms and focusing on the unique potential of each child. The pedagogical team, referred to as "guides," is highly qualified and trained to observe and support students' needs, fostering autonomy, creativity, and self-discipline in mixed-age groups. The school also functions as a training center, offering seminars and experiential workshops for professionals and families.

The school accepts applications throughout the academic year. The admission process involves attending an information day (in-person or virtual), an individual family interview with the pedagogical team, and formal communication of the admission decision before proceeding to enrolment. Open days are held periodically to allow prospective families to learn about the school's educational approach.

The school operates from Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Information days are held throughout the academic year for prospective families.

Located in a natural rural environment in Ronda, Málaga, the school utilizes its surroundings as an essential element of the learning process. The campus features bright, warm, spacious, and orderly "prepared environments" designed to promote independence and security. These classrooms are aesthetic and simple, with each element serving a specific purpose to support the child's development.

The school offers various extracurricular activities and complementary services. Examples include gardening projects, such as family garlic planting, and celebrations like Carnival and Andalusia Day. Students also participate in activities such as yoga, swimming pool trips, and various field trips.
