Description

beta

The Maria Montessori School NW3 5NW is located within the leafy Hampstead neighborhood, offering a unique educational experience based on the Montessori methodology. Established in 1965, it is housed in an Edwardian mansion with a large garden, providing a serene yet enriching environment for its students. The school is divided into two main sections: Children's House, which includes nursery and preschool-aged children from 2 ½ to 6 years old, and the Elementary section, catering to primary and prep school students from the ages of 6 to 12 years.

The Children's House incorporates two light-filled classrooms: one at the original building and the other situated in a converted coach house on the grounds, providing a cozy and intimate learning environment. Their curriculum emphasizes hands-on activities that foster physical, social, and intellectual development. The Elementary classroom features spacious and light-filled rooms, promoting complex and abstract thinking with emphasis on real-life knowledge and interdisciplinary learning.

The school is led by children's house teachers and many assistants who hold recognized Montessori qualifications and have many years of experience within nurseries and classrooms. The downstairs kitchen serves high-quality, free-range, seasonal food to all students, and the Children's Houses are accredited by Montessori Education UK.

The Maria Montessori School is an Other Independent School with an age range of 3 to 16 years. Headteacher Mrs Michel Capobianco ensures that the school is open, and it does not have a sixth form, nor does it board students. The establishment is approved by Ofsted, follows the National Curriculum while maintaining essential Montessori principles, and works with a diverse student population, with 0% of students eligible for free school meals.

The school is located at 26 Lyndhurst Gardens, Hampstead, London NW3 5NW, and the nearest transportation hubs include Hampstead Heath, Belsize Park, Hampstead, and Finchley Road station.
