Children’s House Montessori School

The school is founded on the principles and methods of Maria Montessori, focusing on "following the interests of the child." It emphasizes the belief that every individual learns differently and at their own pace, utilizing a prepared environment to foster personal development.

The school offers an Infant Program for children aged 12 to 36 months and a Primary Montessori classroom for children aged three to six. The core curriculum covers areas such as practical life, sensorial development, literacy, cultural science, and mathematics, with teachers focusing on each child individually based on their age and ability. Additionally, the school provides an After School Enrichment Program and music classes for students aged three to eight and older.

Children’s House operates on a rolling admissions basis, allowing students to begin their academic year at any point during the term. The application process involves an initial tour of the school, a scheduled classroom observation, the submission of an application, and a final meeting between the child and their prospective teacher.

The school operates on a two-term academic year, with the first term running from August to December and the second term from January to June. The calendar includes scheduled breaks for autumn, winter, mid-winter, and spring, as well as a two-week summer school program held in June.

Located in a quiet residential area of Motoazabu, the school is designed as a "Children's House" featuring furniture and Montessori materials specifically sized for children. The environment is prepared to stimulate individual interests and support the Montessori approach to education.
