Welcome to Judy Montessori Primary School, a vibrant and nurturing learning environment located in the south of Mauritius, offering education from grade 1 to grade 6. Our curriculum is a thoughtful blend of the national Mauritian curriculum and Montessori principles, designed to support each child's growth at every stage.

We use MIE textbooks throughout all grades, enriched by Montessori materials – especially in Grades 1 to 3 – to help young learners explore abstract ideas through concrete, hands on experiences. As students progress to Grades 4 to6, they build on these foundations with increased academic focus and preparation for the national PSAC exams.

Our dedicated teachers are given the freedom to be creative and responsive, crafting lessons that engage, challenge, and motivate. The result is a school where students are not only well-prepared academically, but also genuinely happy to come to school each day.

Our curriculum encompasses key areas of education:

Mathematics & Geometry: Our curriculum in mathematics and geometry goes beyond rote learning. We emphasize a hands-on approach where students use Montessori materials to understand abstract mathematical concepts concretely. This approach lays a strong foundation in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Through activities with materials like the Montessori golden beads, students grasp fundamental concepts such as place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. This hands-on experience is essential for a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.

Language (English & French): Language development is a cornerstone of our curriculum. We prioritise teaching in both English and French as core subjects. Our approach focuses on immersive learning, where children are encouraged to engage in conversations, storytelling, and reading from an early age. We emphasise correct pronunciation, enunciation, and punctuation. Through this bilingual approach, students become proficient in both languages, enhancing their communication skills and academic success.

Science & Biology: L'éducation scientifique à Judy Montessori repose sur l'exploration pratique et l'apprentissage basé sur l'investigation. Les élèves s'engagent activement avec divers concept scientifiques, y compris la zoologie et la botanique. Grâce à ces expériences, les élèves développent une profonde curiosité pour les phénomènes et les évènements qui les entourent.

Cultural Studies (History & Geography): Our cultural studies program provides students with a broad understanding of history and geography. We explore the history of Mauritius and the world, helping children connect the past to the present. In history, students learn about past societies, beliefs, and cultures that have shaped human actions. In geography, they gain knowledge of global places and environments, alongside map reading and investigative skills. This curriculum sparks curiosity and global awareness in our students.

Grace & Courtesy: and Emotional Intelligence: We believe that nurturing emotional intelligence and social skills is integral to a child's education. Our curriculum seamlessly integrates grace and courtesy lessons into daily classes, helping students develop empathy, respect, and kindness towards others. We create a safe environment where children can express and manage their emotions constructively. These life skills are interwoven into all our classes, promoting emotional well-being and preparing students to be informed and contributing global citizens.

ICT: In today's digital age, computer literacy is essential. Our students have weekly opportunities to learn how to use computers in our dedicated lab. This hands-on experience equips them with valuable technology skills and prepares them for the demands of the modern world. Older students can also utilise the lab for research purposes across various subjects, enhancing their research and problem-solving abilities.

Drama Classes: Our drama classes provide a platform for students to express themselves confidently and creatively. Through weekly drama sessions, students explore the world of storytelling, role-playing, and creative expression. These classes encourage self-confidence, effective communication, and teamwork, skills that extend beyond the stage and into all aspects of life.

Music Classes: In our music lessons, children embark on a playful journey through sound, rhythm, and song. Each session is designed to awaken creativity and build a strong musical foundation through movement, listening, and joyful expression. More than just a fun activity, music nurtures brain development – sharpening memory, attention, and language skills. These early experiences can plant the seeds of a lifelong love for music, opening the door to future exploration, including learning an instrument as they grow.

Library: We promote a love for reading in a digital age. Our library is a space where children can explore a wide variety of books catering to diverse interests. We continually expand our library to provide engaging reading materials that encourage a love of literature and lifelong learning.

Art: Art stimulates creativity and imagination. Our students engage in a variety of creative activities that complement their academic subjects. These activities allow them to express themselves artistically, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and an appreciation for the visual arts.

Football & Swimming: Football and swimming offer our students exciting ways to stay active, build confidence, and develop essential physical skills. Through movement, teamwork, and fun challenges, children improve their strength, coordination, and overall fitness. Regular exercise not only supports healthy bodies but also boosts focus, energy, and emotional well-being – laying the groundwork for lifelong healthy habits.
