School philosophy:
The mission of Ecole Montessori du Mont-Blanc is to provide a bilingual (French and English) Montessori experience for children aged 3 through 12 years based on the values and principles of Maria Montessori, and respond to each child’s individual strengths and needs.
This mission is accomplished by:
• Providing an environment with a strong link to the outdoors, that balances academic and social development to promote independence, respect for fellow individuals, self-discipline, cooperation and a love of learning.
• Encouraging cultural and ethnic diversity.
• Delivering a mixed age, bilingual, nine year program (from Petite Section to CM2) which allows the children to build long-term relationships with the other children and their teachers within a caring community.
• Fostering involvement of parents, teachers, students and the larger community.
