High School

 High School (Years 7-12)

We are excited to announce that Sydney Montessori School is now officially an IB World School, authorised to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program! 

The IB Diploma Programme is an internationally recognised program designed to challenge and inspire students to develop critical thinking, global awareness, and academic excellence. With the IB’s rigorous curriculum and focus on holistic education, we are proud to provide our students with the opportunity to gain a world-class education that prepares them for success in higher education and beyond.

The IB Diploma Programme aligns seamlessly with the philosophies and values of Maria Montessori, emphasising the importance of individualised learning, self-directed inquiry, and fostering a love for learning. Just as Montessori education nurtures the development of each child’s unique potential, the IB encourages students to become responsible, compassionate, and independent thinkers who are prepared to make meaningful contributions to the world. By combining the best of both educational approaches, we are dedicated to cultivating well-rounded individuals who are curious, globally minded, and ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our approach aims to develop knowledgeable caring and inquisitive young people with a global perspective. We encourage our students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. Students will not only be academically challenged but will be personally nurtured to prepare them for the future and to contribute to a global society.

Our approach:

  • Based upon Method rather than Content

  • Promotes individual inquiry and study

  • Child-centred (rather than teacher-centred)

  • Promotes social and community behaviour

  • Promotes children’s education for peace

  • We believe in self-discipline and an integral sense of purpose

  • Encourages diversity leading to global perspectives

  • Promotes balance and harmony in the individual

Join us on this exciting journey as we continue to foster the next generation of global leaders and thinkers!
