The teenage years are a period of significant change, in which young people have a huge amount of energy, idealism, and a yearning to understand themselves and the world. However, if this energy is not guided correctly, it will dissipate and may lead to negative outcomes. This course demonstrates how the Montessori approach provides the solution, equipping parents and educators with an understanding of the inner workings of the adolescent mind and the tools to guide them toward a strong sense of self and purpose.

🗓️Starts 10th November 2026
📍Online, Evening Course 3 times a week. 3 Week duration.

Students on this course will receive an AMI Orientation Certificate upong passing and provided they have had at least 90% attendance.

**Our school parents get 20% off all our Orientation courses**

it's today and we're doing a on a blog we published in 2024 on how Montessori supports children's mental health and wellbeing. It makes sense, doesn't it? Education that responds to brain development is key to youth mental health.

How well children understand numbers when they start school predicts how they do in maths years later, right through to secondary school. Yet children's maths tends to fall behind their reading in the early primary years, and many grow up convinced they are "just not a maths person".

So, the way young children first meet numbers really counts. Our Head of Training, Louise Livingston, has co-written a paper with researchers from the Centre for Educational Neuroscience at UCL that looks at exactly this. They compared how Montessori classrooms teach maths to 3- to 6-year-olds with what neuroscience now tells us about how the brain learns. The match was remarkably close.

Discover the Maria Montessori School for 2½ – 16 year olds located in west and north London.
We offer authentic Montessori education which is hands-on, highly tactile, self-paced in that children are not rushed to reach milestones but rather they come to them when they feel ready, in their own time; collaborative and highly experiential. It is academically robust while also teaching children life skills. Many of our parents express that they wish they'd had this education themselves!

School Tours
Our Autumn School Tours are coming up very soon, starting on 15th October.
Walk around our classrooms and gardens, hear about our Montessori programme and meet our teachers. Our next school tours are taking place in May & June.

The Maria Montessori School - Notting Hill received a special visitor last Friday! Former Notting Hill teacher, Miss Tsao, came over to celebrate the Chinese Mid Autumn Festival, also known as Moon Festival. On this day, it is believed that the moon is at its fullest and brightest, coinciding with the time of harvest in the middle of autumn.

Miss Tsao and the children read a book about the festival, sang a traditional song associated with the celebration, and the children had the opportunity to make their very own mooncakes. It was such a lovely and memorable way to celebrate together!
In the days leading up to the visit, the children also made some beautiful lanterns to celebrate the festival.
