Randburg Montessori is an intimate community of exploring, discovering, learning and teaching.
Randburg Montessori’s goal is to give its children an education that will prepare them to succeed both in primary school and in life, in a rapidly changing world. Like all Montessori schools, Randburg Montessori emphasizes hands-on discovery-based learning. Although the programme promises to strive for an exceptional standard of excellence, children are encouraged to develop themselves holistically. It is with this in mind that Randburg Montessori strives to employ the best teachers to suit the specific needs of the children.
Here, we share a commitment to a close partnership between home and school, and our innovative educational programme leads children to develop extraordinary levels of personal responsibility, independence, and self-confidence.
As we are committed to seeing Montessori flourish in South Africa, we are dedicated supporters of SAMA. All our staff are members of SAMA and receive ongoing professional development through this organisation.
Looking back to our beginnings, in January 2002, 5 children with eager and supportive parents became the first class of Randburg Montessori. During that first year enrolments steadily grew until our first class, now with 12 children, had outgrown the venue. In the December of 2002 we moved to The Ferndale Recreation Centre which had room to expand and we have been here ever since.
In 2004 Randburg Montessori accepted enrolments for our first toddler group for children aged 18 months – 3 years. In 2008 we opened a second pre school environment for children aged 3 – 6 years. In 2015 we started our first group of elementary aged children which is a small home-school type group. In 2019, Randburg Montessori introduced a Baby / Nido (Italian for ‘nest’) class.
Although all the children that have been in our care are loved and remembered by us, we are most grateful for those first 4 families who took a chance and enrolled their precious children in our first class.
