Introduction
Northside Montessori School provides Montessori education for pre-primary and
primary aged children. The teaching methods and curricula are based
closely on the methods, insights, materials and discoveries of Maria Montessori, which differ significantly from the more traditional methods and
above all, stress the individuality of the child. They are designed to
help each child in sensory-motor skills, discrimination and judgement,
socialisation, creative intelligence and imagination.
Northside Montessori School offers an alternative curriculum whilst meeting
the Board of Studies requirements in all core subjects. Inspections of
primary classes by the Board take place at regular intervals, and the
pre-primary classes operate under the authority of the NSW Department of Community
Services.
