Admissions
Welcome
Montessori education is known for following the child, respecting his own pace of development while fostering his interests, and promoting independence, both within the structure of the classroom and out in the wider world. Kamloops Montessori School and its affiliate schools, are classrooms for children which respond to each child as an individual. We are a vibrant, international community of learners, where children and adults can learn from each other, by teaching and by doing. We strive to create a respectful, peaceful environment where students can grow and be who they are. At Kamloops Montessori Schools, we believe that each person – child, parent, and staff – brings something unique and valuable to our community.
We invite you to visit our school and spend some time in our classrooms, to see how children interact with one another and with the adults who are their guides and teachers. See how responsibility and independence are fostered, how the child-appropriate environment makes it possible for children to do what they are capable of, and how adults follow the child’s lead to meet his developmental needs. Come meet our faculty and learn more about our programs for children aged 3- 6 years and for school aged children attending our After School Programs . Join us for a tour and see why children love being here. We look forward to meeting you!
