The Colegio Montessori

Montessori is a school where respect for the child and his or her individuality results in the formation of autonomous, free people with great capacity to act and choose.

We seek to form in freedom, that we teach our students to choose what they want, in a responsible way, with awareness of themselves, others and their environment. To train in freedom means to assume consequences "you choose, but you assume the consequences of your decisions".

Through a participatory and practical trilingual education (Spanish, English, and French) that encourages research, we promote the integral development of our students, preparing them to face the challenges of a globalized culture where we are all citizens of the world.

Vision

We are an innovative and sustainable educational community, in permanent search for excellence in the integral formation of conscious, inclusive, and global human beings, who live Montessori values and generate a positive impact on society.

Beliefs

Every pedagogical act must be mediated by affection: "touching the child's heart in order to reach the child's reason".

Respect is the fundamental value of the Colegio Montessori that must be reflected in all interactions in its community.

The formation for the exercise of freedom and democracy is one of the fundamental purposes of education in our school.

Each student possesses potential that can be developed through the educational process.

Every student is a unique being and as such must be cared for and understood by the teacher.

Responsibility and discipline are fundamental to form autonomous individuals with the ability to overcome.

The training and involvement of parents makes possible the coherence and impact of the educational process.

We assume as a fundamental duty to form socially responsible individuals, actors in the development and transformation of the country.

We work for the construction of a more just society with the possibility of living in peace and promoting the development of all its citizens.

The success of institutional management depends on the competencies of the human team and the sense of belonging they generate towards it.

The improvement of the institution is based on an open and reflective attitude towards change.

The autonomy and institutionalism of the College are fundamental to ensure quality management.
