Why choose Vancouver Montessori School?

The environment at Vancouver Montessori School has been carefully prepared to provide a creative learning experience. We only hire teachers trained and certified by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI).

Recognizing the parent as the primary educator and the school as a secondary educator, we hope to give your child "the chance to fulfill his potential possibilities to become an independent, secure and balanced human being."

Please call for an appointment to observe the children in an ideal learning environment. The best way to understand Montessori is to see it in action.

What is Montessori?

Montessori enables children to teach themselves. Each child works at their own pace, using Montessori materials to experience a wide variety of subjects including reading, science, mathematics, music and geography. Since the rate of development is unique a Montessori teacher is keenly aware of each child, and introduces them to new activities that will challenge and delight them.

Tips on evaluating schools

What is AMI?
The Association Montessori Internationale was founded in 1929 by Dr. Maria Montessori to maintain the integrity of her life's work, and to ensure that it would be perpetuated after her death. Some of AMI's activities include:
  Providing guidance for AMI training courses
  Coordinating a Training of Trainers program
  Guiding manufacturers in the production of approved Montessori materials
