At Brisbane Montessori School, the child is at the centre of their learning - at their own pace and with scope to pursue their own interests. Multi-age classrooms and an integrated curriculum create a dynamic learning environment - a place where children love to learn. BMS has a Junior School comprising 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 year environments, and a Primary School for 6 to 12 year olds. Our school is supported by an Outside School Hours Care facility. BMS is located on the north bank of the Brisbane River at Fig Tree Pocket and has approximately 300 children enrolled aged from 0 through to 12 years. Since incorporation in 1981, BMS has grown to become one of the largest Montessori schools in Australia. The Montessori approach to education provides children with a purpose built community in which every child finds their unique place and where developmental and educational needs are met. This approach to education is based on scientific understandings of child development. A Montessori education is about preparing the development of the child for life and addresses the whole child: emotional, social, physical, spiritual and academic needs. This holistic approach is essential as the future expectations of society are increasingly difficult to define.
