Our programs
The Montessori program
The Montessori method is specially designed to adapt to the Kindergarten environment and meet the specific needs of young children in this crucial phase of their development.
What is a Montessori school?
What Maria Montessori claims for the child, from birth, is an education in freedom, in autonomy in a carefully prepared environment. The child’s spontaneous activity, in this environment, then becomes one of the main factors in his development both individually and socially. A Montessori school is situated between tradition and modernity, following and transmitting the principles of Maria Montessori’s psychopedagogy, principles largely confirmed by current research. Education as an aid to life is the starting postulate of a Montessori school: an education in freedom that lays the foundations of a future conscious and responsible society.
- The adult's role is to observe the child, to guide him in his development, and to protect his work and help him build rich and peaceful social relationships.
A specific organization of time
Children must have two and a half to three hours of independent activity time, every morning and every afternoon, which allows for respecting the work rhythm and the child’s concentration in their activity.
Montessori material
Each Montessori material is an aid to the child’s development. It is specially designed to support the child’s activity. It is through this that he can build his intelligence, adapt to his culture and express his creative potential. The main function of the material is to allow the child to explore the world, to grasp it and to build himself. It must imperatively be complete and meet intrinsic quality criteria. It cannot be mixed with other educational materials.

Préparer les enfants aux défis du 21e siècle
One of the missions of the Bilingual Montessori Institution is to prepare children from a very young age for the challenges of the 21st century.
Autonomy, self-discipline, creativity, self-confidence, respect for one’s environment, collaboration, project work (…) are skills that parents increasingly consider necessary to navigate our era. Thus, the objectives of our school, developed through the basic education curriculum in force in Senegal, are centered on the acquisition of fundamental learning that are Language and Communication, Mathematics and education in science and social life.
These objectives should enable each child to acquire a foundation of knowledge and skills that are particularly useful for responding to the major challenges of tomorrow’s society.
