Our Difference

Why Choose Montessori International College?

Truly personalised learning

At MIC, we tailor our teaching to fit each student’s unique needs, making learning both innovative and challenging. This helps students develop a sense of personal agency, empowering them to achieve things on their own. We celebrate every step of their journey, encouraging them to explore, share their ideas, and think critically about different perspectives.

Students at MIC have a remarkable degree of control over their learning journey. Unlike traditional classrooms with fixed curricula, we offer a rich array of hands-on materials and learning opportunities.

Kids choose activities based on their interests and developmental pace, allowing them to dive into subjects they’re passionate about and truly own their education. This not only fosters independence but also cultivates a genuine love for learning. They actively engage with the world around them, developing critical thinking skills and a deep curiosity that extends beyond the classroom.

Learning at MIC is diverse, cohesive, and purposeful. Whether it’s investigating how stars form, expressing oneself confidently, mastering maths or music, creating solutions for effective watershed management, or exploring various global contexts. MIC students are deeply immersed in their learning experiences. They constantly seek to understand and celebrate the world’s diversity, making their education meaningful and expansive.

Our teachers are our greatest asset

At MIC, our educators are guides and keen observers who really take the time to understand your child. Instead of controlling the learning journey, they gently steer it. This way, they can tailor the learning experience to fit each child, nurturing and supporting them to progress at their own pace.

Our Montessori-trained educators often hold multiple degrees and are fantastic at responding to each student’s unique needs. They model respect and build strong, lasting relationships, creating an environment where trust and deep understanding thrive.

We stay true to the Montessori method, believing that great teaching means putting the learner in control. By empowering students, we help them develop a genuine love for learning. This personalised approach ensures every child feels valued and motivated to explore and grow.

Lifelong friendships begin here

Friendships at MIC are unique and very important to the students. Many of our students commence their learning together at age 3. It’s a bit like being among extended family. The students enjoy close-knit relationships and the social environment is collaborative and inclusive.

More than anything else, it is their caring and supportive friendships that make school life fun and enjoyable. In addition to student friendships, life-long family friendships are formed at MIC.

Within the warm atmosphere of MIC, students make friends easily and develop strong bonds. Their support and care for one another is demonstrated in all that they do. Each year the students express their sense of being valued, that their opinion counts and they enjoy coming to school. These comments confirm the harmony and productivity of their learning environments. Research shows that happy students make successful learners. The well-being of each of our students is always at the forefront of our thinking. An MIC student is not just another face but an individual with a unique personality.

What success looks like at MIC

Montessori education helps children learn how to identify good questions and find their own answers independently. At MIC, success is a student who graduates as a critical thinker, responsible for themselves and others, self-aware, self-directed, and equipped to handle the ever-changing world beyond the College grounds.
