Barcelona Montessori School of

Barcelona

We signed the contract of Barcelona Montessori School on the 31st of January 2020. By the time we did the Open House on the 28th of February we were in lockdown. We emerged from it with a 3 months delay in the plan of development. We still managed to open on time, on the 4th of september 2020. Therefore we built this school in 4 months. It is common knowledge that God built the world in 7 days, but look at the world… And look at our school! ;) Our school is designed to encourage children to explore the universe. This starts in the early years of life and continues the child progresses through school. As children grow older, they look further afield to find answers to their questions. We want to reap the natural curiosity of children, to create lifelong learners whose natural interest in the world drives them to seek the best from life. In the early years, this begins by exploring new relationships outside the home. In our Infant Community we focus on developing close relationships with the adults who care for us and with our new friends. This plants the seeds of social development. The Infant Community environment encourages children to explore language, practical life skills and hand-eye coordination. Independence is key and for this reason, a calm and peaceful environment gives children time to develop these skills at their own pace.
