Edinburgh Montessori Arts School
“Our aim is not merely to make children understand, but so to touch their imaginations as to enthuse them to their innermost core.” Maria Montessori. At Edinburgh Montessori Arts School we are passionate about our personalised and progressive educational approach. Our small school is an ideal learning sanctuary with the benefits of both city and countryside on our doorstep. Providing educational care, our teachers support each phase of development by recognising when a child has mastered his/her surroundings and is ready for new challenges. Children move through each developmental phase at their own pace as valued members of our close- knit school community.
Our drama, music, art, and dance specialists inspire a plethora of stimulating creative activities in addition to the generous opportunities provided by the Montessori classroom environments. Our children enjoy daily time outdoors bringing them in close contact with their natural surroundings. Our “Discovery Garden” has grown in collaboration with the children, teachers and parents to provide inspiring spaces for work, play and mindfulness. Out in the paddocks the children
spend time in open-ended exploration and environmental projects.
For children from one year onwards our Infant Community is a home from home, in which they discover and learn in the most calm, supportive surroundings. From three years old children move to ‘Children’s House’, our nursery class, where all aspects of their development are given time and encouragement, helping to nurture a lifelong love of learning. For children from six, our Elementary classroom is the base from which they explore the world, linking their studies with real-life experiences. With its roots in science, knowledge and understanding the Montessori curriculum provides the springboard for the children’s emergent interests; a complete Montessori education, complemented by their work with our creative arts specialists. Our pupils’ academic achievements are underpinned by strong intrinsic motivation and a desire to be their “best self”.
