Our school is a member of the Association Montessori (Switzerland) and fulfills the fundamental criteria for using the Montessori name in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
“Education is a natural process for children, acquired not through words but through experience of their environment.”
At Maria Montessori International School, children thrive in a nurturing, international environment, guided by authentic Montessori pedagogy and AMI-certified educators. Our approach values curiosity, autonomy, and holistic development through hands-on learning, creative and outdoor activities, summer camps, and cultural experiences.
We emphasize respect, collaboration, and openness, supporting each child’s unique rhythm. With age-mixed classrooms, freedom with responsibility, seasonal farm visits, and partnerships with cultural institutions, our school fosters academic, social, and emotional growth, preparing children to become confident, engaged, and compassionate global citizens.
