Montessori International Colleges primary and adolescent communities are not-for-profit independent schools which exist for the purpose of building world class Montessori programs for the Sunshine Coast. From modest beginnings in 1995, our College has grown to be a thriving community of children, adolescents, parents, faculty and staff. MIC offers creative, innovative and individualised programs that recognise and support the natural curiosity and ability of children and adolescents to learn. This takes place in collaborative settings of adults, children and adolescents that emphasise compassion, joy and active learning. MIC graduates possess life attributes that consist of a strong sense of self, integrity, creativity, perseverance, self discipline and finely tuned problem solving capacities. MIC environments feature enviable student teacher ratios. Staff are highly qualified holding both undergraduate and post graduate qualifications. These credentials are in addition to their Montessori Diplomas. Corporate governance, initiated in 2008, has facilitated a new era of growth for MIC. Board directors bring together a wealth, breadth and depth of corporate governance, foresight and business acumen to the College ensuring sustainable management and achievement of growth outcomes.
