Our approach

Learn with fun, from the very first day

The buds of today require smooth care, nurturing with love and compassion. Texas Montessori School aims to flourish each pupil in a congenial academic atmosphere, with child-friendly teaching strategies delivered by highly experienced, trained and dynamic teachers.

Developing positivity, love, affection, a sense of co-operation and decent habits among young minds is our prime concern. Children choose their work, learn by doing, and move at their own pace in mixed-age groups.

Learning areas

Five areas of a Montessori classroom, in plain words

Parents often ask for reading and maths only. Practical life and sensorial work are what make reading and maths stick.

Practical life

Pouring, buttoning, sweeping, carrying a tray. Independence, concentration and care for the room.

Sensorial

Colour tablets, sound cylinders, shapes and textures. Children learn to notice and compare before they name.

Language

Sandpaper letters, moveable alphabet, phonics in English and Nepali, stories every day.

Mathematics

Number rods, beads and cards make quantity concrete before symbols appear.

Culture and creativity
