Children’s learning is interdisciplinary. Guided by the teachers and their peers, they work with beautiful didactic materials and gradually develop concentration, refinement, and a positive learning disposition.
Our early years curriculum brings the Montessori approach to life through the principles of Realising the Ambition and the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence. Here, children learn through exploration, creativity, and purposeful activity, developing the habits of independence, focus, and joyful curiosity that will carry them through their school years and beyond.
At the heart of the Children’s House are skilled educators who know each child deeply. They observe, guide, and design opportunities that meet individual interests while encouraging growing confidence and collaboration. Every moment, from practical life to early literacy, from problem-solving to artistic expression, is shaped to nurture the social, physical, intellectual, and emotional development of each learner.
By combining Montessori’s timeless insights with current research and best practice, our curriculum not only meets but extends the standards of A Curriculum for Excellence. The result is a learning environment that is both structured and inspiring, where children build the strong foundations for academic success and a lifelong love of learning.
