Spondeo Montessori

Overview

The program follows Montessori principles with an emphasis on individualized lessons, freedom of movement and choice within a prepared environment, and whole‑child development. For older children, the school uses project work, small‑group lessons and community outings to extend learning beyond the classroom.
