Inner Sydney Montessori School - help me do it myself

The Montessori difference

The Inner Sydney Montessori School (ISMS) offers an inclusive co-educational, non-denominational, Montessori education for children from birth to 12 years old. Our children are diverse in ethnicity, socio-economic background and abilities.

We offer an educational experience unique to Sydney’s Inner West:

  • Passionate, dedicated teachers trained in traditional and Montessori curriculum and methods.
  • Our parents are an integral and active part of our thriving community.
  • Our school meets or exceeds government requirements for all age groups.
  • And, most importantly, our children learn not because they have to, but because they want to!

Introduction to Montessori - Monday, 22 March 2010

The Montessori approach fosters children's love of learning and encourages independence by providing an environment of activities and materials which children use at their own pace. This builds self-confidence, inner discipline, a sense of self-worth and instills positive social behaviour. The approach forms the basis for lifelong learning.
