Montessori at Port Ahuriri School 15 Lever Street, Ahuriri, Napier, Hawke's Bay 4110

Welcome to Montessori at Port Ahuriri School, a unique educational institution located in the beautiful city of Napier, New Zealand. Situated at 15 Lever Street, our school is not just an establishment but also a point of interest for families seeking a holistic and child-centered approach to education.

At Montessori at Port Ahuriri School, we are inspired by the words of Maria Montessori, the renowned Italian physician and educator. She believed that education should be a natural process carried out by the child, allowing them to learn through experiences in their environment. We wholeheartedly embrace this philosophy and strive to create an environment that fosters curiosity, independence, and a love for learning.

One of the core principles of Montessori education is the belief in respecting children as individuals with unique capabilities and potential. As Maria Montessori said, children are superior to us due to their innocence and the greater possibilities of their future. We believe in nurturing and empowering each child to reach their full potential, both academically and personally.

In our Montessori classroom, you will find a great sense of community and collaboration. Children of different ages work together, fostering an atmosphere of cooperation rather than competitiveness. This not only encourages social skills and empathy but also allows for natural mentorship and peer learning.

We offer a wide range of activities and materials that are carefully designed to promote concentration, critical thinking, and self-mastery. As Maria Montessori believed, an interesting piece of work, freely chosen, has the power to enhance a child's energy and mental capacities. Through our Montessori approach, we aim to instill a lifelong love for learning and a sense of purpose in each child.

We invite you to join us for our upcoming Information Evening, where you can learn more about our school, our curriculum, and meet our dedicated team of educators. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, our Back to School event has been postponed. However, we are excited to welcome you to our Information Evening, where you can discover the transformative power of Montessori education.
