Lisbon Montessori School of

Lisbon

Lisbon Montessori School (LMS) fosters a partly bilingual environment. Our language of instruction is English but classroom assistants speak with students in Portuguese. We follow the AMI school of thought within the Montessori philosophy.  Lisbon Montessori School works to create an environment where children will feel safe, able, trustworthy, appreciated, and encouraged to focus deeply on their activities. Dr. Montessori believed that patterns of concentration and exactness established in early childhood also produce a confident and competent learner in later years. Mixed age is an important factor of the Montessori classroom. This provides children with possibilities to discover ways of functioning in a real social group. In addition, a great deal of knowledge reinforcement results from this interaction of different aged children.
