ABOUT US

HISTORY

Cape Town Montessori School was founded in 1983 by a small group of motivated parents. These parents funded and sourced equipment, and in some cases built furniture.

 

This commitment and enthusiasm for the Montessori philosophy & methodology, coupled with dedicated teachers, has ensured the growth of the school.

 

From the initial small beginning in St. John’s Hostel with two very small classes, growth necessitated a move to De Lorentz Street, Tamboerskloof, with approximately 50 children.

​

We have been in Oranjezicht since 1996 at our current premises in Sylvan Close.

 

Cape Town Montessori School is a member of SAMA (South African Montessori Association) and strives towards best practice.

​

The Cape Town Montessori School operates as an NPO and is governed by a Trust with a board of Trustees and Trust Deed. 

ECO-SCHOOL

We are a proud member of the WESSA Eco-Schools international program. In 2014 we achieved Bronze status, and Silver status in 2015.  In 2016 we achieved Green Flag status.

​

"The program's greatest achievement is arguably the fact that it produces generation after generation of sustainably minded, environmentally conscious people. These individuals will carry the behavioural patterns of Eco-Schools with them through life, in turn teaching the next generation the habits to make a difference."
