Home Education

Premium Montessori guidance for families learning at home

Our Home Education Support programme is designed for families seeking a thoughtful, personalised, and authentic Montessori approach to learning at home.

Guided by AMI-trained Montessori teachers, we work closely with parents to support the child’s development through carefully prepared learning pathways, age-appropriate lessons, and ongoing educational mentoring. Rooted in the Montessori philosophy, the programme respects each child’s natural curiosity, independence, and individual pace of learning.

Designed primarily for children aged 4–6 years, with support also available for 6–12 year olds, the programme provides families with professional guidance while maintaining the flexibility and freedom that home education offers.

Our role is to support both the child and the parent, helping families create a calm, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning experience at home. Through consistent guidance and meaningful connection, we aim to nurture confident, capable learners who develop independence, concentration, and a genuine love of learning.

The Home Education program supports key academic growth while nurturing the child’s confidence and love of learning. Areas of focus include:

  • Cultural Subjects: Early exposure to Cosmic Education themes; such as the Earth, living/non-living things, time, and timelines

  • Art & Movement: Integrated opportunities for creativity, body awareness, and expression

Children work at their own pace with individualized learning plans, guided by an experienced AMI Montessori teacher.
