Founded in 1994, Montessori Oman is a private bilingual Montessori Pre-school for children aged 2- 6 years; Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception. It is under the license and supervision of Ministry of Education and Ministry of Social Development. Internationally, the school is affiliated with Montessori Educational Programs International (MEPI) and The Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE). We are situated in a residential area in Al Qurum Heights. The aim of our school is to provide excellent Montessori education in a happy, relaxed and secure environment. The philosophy of Montessori education emphasizes the potential of the individual in ways specific to each child. Montessori Oman is committed to the teaching philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori with a belief that the most important time in a person's development is between birth and age six. Within a carefully prepared and intriguing environment and through the guidance of a loving and well-trained teacher, children are introduced to the joy of learning and move through their learning with confidence. Montessori Oman fosters individual excellence by encouraging each child's initiative and promotes independence as well as self-respect. We choose to emphasize our commonalities as a community rather than our differences. Montessori is an education for life, a learning process where children are encouraged to develop at their own pace in a safe and caring environment. It is based on the child's innate need to develop intellectual and physical abilities and provides a carefully prepared environment to meet and direct this need.
