Programmes
Transparent Classroom
We invite parents to join our Montessori Transparent Classroom for an incredible and memorable journey with us to observe their children’s on- going progress at our school!
Parents at our school make use of the Transparent Classroom app which can be used on their cellphones or on the web. As experienced educators, we have your children's educational, learning programme at our fingertips and use this programme to carefully plan and tailor make our lessons, record progress, and make observations of your child daily, ensuring that your child is right on track! We also add up to date weekly photographs of your children on the app.
Our Montessori Transparent classroom is an excellent tool by allowing parents with “a window” into their child’s classroom and learning environment with our many faceted, hands-on stimulating Montessori activities and skills that your child has acquired and learnt or presently engaged in. Parents are regularly updated with their childrens on-going progress throughout the year.
