Welcome!!
As children learn in different ways, using all of
their senses, Montessori in the early years relies upon specialised
hands-on concrete learning materials. High-school students use
abstract thinking skills, and rely on the internet and use literature
and reference materials for their own research.
Elonera Montessori School located in Wollongong,
NSW, was established in 1987
by parents and friends of an alternative school who were enthused
about taking on the Montessori philosophy.
The school is a non-profit organisation that
provides a rich academic program for 110 students who range in age
from three to 16 (preschool to Year 10). We are non-sectarian,
coeducational and multicultural.
Children learn not to be afraid of making mistakes;
they see them as natural steps in the learning process. They
learn to collaborate and work together. They strive for their
personal best, rather than compete for the highest grade in the class.
Students are empowered to be more responsible for
their own learning, critical thinking and problem solving.
