High School

We are pleased to announce our High School commenced operation in Term 1, 2021. The approach to the program is to build on the existing Montessori Philosophy and to deliver an innovative adolescent program in Years 7 - 10 as we prepare the students for their final years of school in the ‘senior school’.   Currently offering up to Year 10, the School plans to introduce Year 11 in 2025, then Year 12 in 2026.

Sydney Montessori School is a Candidate School for the DP Program. This school is pursuing authorisation as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that SMS believes is important for our students.

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 integral sense of purpose

• Encourages diversity leading to global perspectives

• Promotes balance and harmony in the individual
