Maria Montessori recognised that there were specific stages in human formation, and identified four planes of development. There are two planes of childhood, resulting at the age of twelve in a mature child, and two formative stages of adulthood completed when a young adult reaches maturity at the age of twenty-four

We strive for individualised pacing and adaptation of the classroom program to meet varied styles of learning. Our educational program is designed for flexibility in its methodology and use of resources.

In designing this individualised program we follow an established curricular framework that includes the NESA Curriculum expectations for basic academic achievement at each level of the school, which leads toward appropriate placement for further education. We offer the approved IB curriculum for the Diploma Program and Careers Program in Years 11 and 12.

We promote active rather than passive learning using hands-on, "experiential" learning whenever possible rather than using lecture and drill techniques. Inquiry and project based. learning form the basis of our High School programs and we embed the theory and practice of critical thinking through all our teaching at all stages.

Our goal is to help students to become increasingly independent, autonomous and self disciplined. We strive for a balance between freedom, order and responsibility. We want children and young people to be in control of self, to make informed and responsible choices.

Our primary focus will always be towards the well being and best interests of our students.
