Sevilla Montessori School
Our History and Our Team
Our History
The beginning of this project in 2015 was a beautiful legacy that the founder and CEO of Seville Montessori School wanted to leave their children in her hometown, since there was no Montessori school, either in the capital or in the province of Seville.
When Sevilla Montessori School was born, everyone involved felt they wanted it to grow. We focused on our vision taking into account our mission.
Later in 2016, Sevilla Montessori School decided to move to the current center with larger, beautiful and welcoming facilities for our children; due to the support and demand of families. All families trusted our team and wanted to grow with us. We felt it was necessary the need to give our children the education they had been claiming these two years. And we wanted to advance to Elementary education.
In addition to this stimulus, we consider that a Montessori school has continuity, so to speak, the method is perfectly created to reach High School education and University Levels. We fully trust that the method and families are a great incentive for us; They are the engines that drive us to continue growing.
The guide recruitment process is carefully carried out following the standards of the AMI.
Our current team is not just people willing to work, but people who believe in the pedagogy and who want this project to grow strongly in Seville, so that it can be offered to the greatest number of children.
On the other hand, multiculturalism has always been very present in our school in the form of coexistence. Today, Seville is considered a cosmopolitan city. In it live citizens from all over the world, from different cultures and environments, and of course, many of them know the Montessori pedagogy of their countries. Our school wants to provide children from other countries with skills and tools that allow them to interact in this globalized world so that they feel at home here. So Sevilla Montessori School has a team of native and bilingual English-language professionals, also trained in emotional education and positive discipline they know how to fit in our environments children from any culture. Without forgetting our Spanish children doing they feel ready to build their home wherever they are. We do it to allow them to identify and feel that as something natural. We intend to prepare them for life to be citizens of the world, meet other cultures and show them how to take care of our planet, so that it remains a unique place to live.
Our school has hosted children from countries such as Japan, Mexico, Australia, the United States, Colombia, France, Morocco, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and China.Achieving this project has been a challenge.
It is true that the families that trusted him have been a strong incentive, but the main and true incentive was to provide children with a comprehensive, holistic and respectful education. In addition to being able to forge them with a solid personality, with deep bases to obtain the tools they need to face any difficulty in adulthood in a natural way.
